UNITED MISSION FOR RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT 

UMR Mobilizes Emergency Relief for Lebanon’s Escalating Humanitarian Crisis

Lebanon is experiencing a severe crisis as ongoing conflicts devastate communities across the country. Since October 2023, hundreds of civilians have been killed, with 2,566 casualties reported. More than 113,000 people have been displaced from South Lebanon, and thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed (OCHA). 

Lebanon is also home to 1.5 million displaced Syrians and nearly 500,000 Palestinian refugees, making it one of the largest hosts for refugees. The ongoing conflict has left around 700,000 children out of school (UNHCR). In response, UMR is launching emergency relief efforts, focusing on helping the most vulnerable, including displaced families, women, and children. 

UMR’s Emergency Response: 

UMR is providing lifesaving help to families in urgent need by delivering medical kits, food aid, and shelter supplies. 

  • $12,500 sponsors a medical emergency kit for three months, helping 10,000 patients. 
  • $140/month provides food aid to a household, ensuring access to nutritious meals. 
  • $200 covers non-food items (NFIs), like shelter supplies, to help displaced families stay safe and maintain dignity. 

Your donations will directly support families displaced by violence, including those in overcrowded shelters or temporary housing. Together, we can provide essential relief to those affected by this crisis.
