Donate to our Lebanon Emergency Appeal to support children and families in crisis
Growing violence in Lebanon has forced tens of thousands of children and families to flee their homes to seek safety. Since 23 September 2024, hundreds of people have been killed and thousands have been injured. Children in both Lebanon and Israel are navigating constant threats to their safety and well-being. No child deserves to experience this terror.
We are calling for the de-escalation of hostilities. We also urge all parties to uphold international humanitarian law, including the protection of children, civilians, and medical personnel.
Families in Lebanon need water and hygiene supplies. All schools in Lebanon have been closed and hundreds are being used as shelter.
Please donate to our Lebanon Appeal to support children and families in this crisis.
What are children experiencing in Lebanon?
- 74,000 children have been displaced from their homes, including those already displaced from Syria.
- UNHCR reports that thousands of people are fleeing to Syria due to the airstrikes, a neighbouring country also in crisis.
- There are nearly 560 collective shelters, with most of them being public schools.
- Children’s learning has been disrupted following the postponement of the new school year and suspension of classes.
- 32 Primary Health Care Centres in high risk areas have closed, so many children have reduced access to healthcare.
You can support us to reach children affected by the crisis. Please donate today to protect children in Lebanon.

How to help Lebanon with a monthly donation
For the first 6 months, your monthly Lebanon donation will go towards funding our work to support children in Lebanon. After that, donations will go to support our work around the world.
In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed what’s needed for the Lebanon emergency appeal, or if funds cannot viably be directed to this appeal, we will direct funds to support our work in keeping children safe and healthy around the world.
