Since October 7, 2023, the West Bank has been drawn deeper into the crisis unfolding across Palestine. Israel has imposed an increasingly severe military lockdown, effectively cutting off Palestinian towns and villages behind more than 800 metal gates and concrete barriers. Movement is strangled. Families are trapped. Lives are in limbo.
With continued support, we can help Lebanese families return to their homes and rebuild their lives with dignity. Together, we stand committed to delivering life-saving assistance and fostering resilience in the face of hardship.
Lebanon is facing yet another nightmare. The recent escalation of attacks from Israel has thrown the country into chaos, with families desperately trying to find safety. Schools have been forced to close, and roads are gridlocked with people fleeing their homes, unsure of where to go next. The coastal road is packed with displaced families—some stopping in Saida, others pushing further north—while uncertainty hangs over everything.
