The recent escalation in Israel’s bombing of Lebanon has resulted in the DEADLIEST day since the crisis began nearly a year ago, claiming over 600 lives and leaving more than 2000 individuals wounded, over 90,000 displaced. Tragically, many of those affected are women and young children, innocent victims caught in the crossfire of a devastating conflict.

In response to this urgent humanitarian crisis, Islamic Relief is actively providing critical support to those most impacted in regions such as Nabatieh, Tyre, Bekaa, and Baalbek. Our efforts include delivering essential medical supplies, food parcels, hygiene kits, blankets, and mattresses to families in desperate need. The situation in Lebanon is dire, compounded by an ongoing economic crisis that has already strained the resilience of its population. Your support is not just a contribution; it is a lifeline that can help alleviate the suffering of countless individuals.

* Deadly airstrikes kill and displace hundreds in Lebanon *
Israel’s bombing of Lebanon has been the deadliest since the crisis began almost a year ago. Over 558 people have been killed, and over 1,835 wounded – many of whom are women and young children.

Hundreds of Israeli airstrikes have torn through residential areas, with at least 24,000 residential buildings having been badly damaged or completely destroyed. Families are fleeing the south of the country in terror.

This latest escalation is likely to force even more families from their homes. More than 116,000 people in Lebanon have already been displaced over the past year, and many are now in desperate need of aid. These deadly airstrikes have only further exacerbated ongoing economic struggles, and there are fears that the situation will only continue to worsen.

/“There is mass panic, families here are terrified and they don’t know what to do or where to go. Young children are among those killed by the bombs, and any further escalation will be absolutely disastrous for civilians.” /
– Islamic Relief’s Country Director in Lebanon

* How your donation can help the people of Lebanon​ *
Islamic Relief is on the ground providing urgent medical supplies to hospitals and primary healthcare clinics, as well as food parcels, hygiene kits, blankets and mattresses to those most affected. We are providing aid to both host communities and internally displaced communities in Nabatieh, Tyre, Bekaa and Baalbek - where thousands are seeking refuge.

With much of Lebanon’s population already struggling to cope with the fallout from a years-long economic crisis - your support is a lifeline.

You can help ease the burdens of the people of Lebanon by donating towards our life-saving work in impacted communities.
