Help for displaced people in Lebanon: Johanniter urgently provide resources

The situation in Lebanon is catastrophic! A dramatic escalation of violence has shaken the country in the past few days. Heavy air strikes not only destroyed buildings, but also brought a lot of suffering over people. Overcrowded hospitals are desperately fighting for the medical care of countless injuries, including many children who urgently need help.

Roy Joude, the Johanniter program coordinator in Lebanon, warns: "The daily bombing from the air reminds me of the devastating war in 2006. I am afraid that thousands of people will fall victim to this war again." People have been severely weakened by years of economic crisis. Food and rental prices shoot up- poverty, hunger and homelessness are now threatening to take effect. Many flee violence and find insufficient protection in emergency accommodations such as schools or churches.

auxiliary needs increases drastically!

in the Saida region, around 50 kilometers south of Beirut, electricity from the border regions to Israel every day. Yasser Dawoud, Managing Director of the Johanniter partner organization Nabaa, reports of desperate people: "Some thousand could be housed in the schools in the region, but many sleep in the open air and do not know where to go." These people ask more important goods than ever!

The Johanniter, together with her partner organization Nabaa, react immediately. They provide food packs, sleeping bags, cash for emergencies and psychosocial help. A total of 130,000 euros from donations are mobilized for this immediate aid. Celine Carré, the state office manager for the Middle East, makes it clear: "These short -term measures only help.
