In Lebanon, currently, the citizens face tragedy due to the currency collapsing, the economy crashing, political unrest, and, difficulties because of the pandemic. The people of Lebanon need help due to the government being ineffective in their ways to combat all of the aforementioned issues. Also, the most recent tragedy is the Beruit explosion. The explosion we saw displayed all across our feeds affected nearly 300,000 citizens, killed 70, and injured 4,000. However, the issue people are facing is the lack of resources and spaces in hospitals, which is causing the citizens to not receive the true help they need. I compiled some ways to help Lebanon, which I displayed in the list below.
The Lebanese Red Cross
Through the Lebanese Red Cross, first aid stations were set-up to help aid the citizens with noncritical injuries.
Lebanese Food Bank
The food bank provides those in need of food and supplies due to the explosion.
Impact Lebanon
Impact Lebanon is raising money for disaster relief.
Ahla Fawda
Ahla Fawda allows people to receive coupons and supplies to people who are in need across Lebanon.
Carrd.co.
Through this platform, there are lists of other local NGOs, sources and additional resources to help Lebanon.
Beit El Baraka
This non-profit organization helps the elderly receive housing, food and medical supplies.
Humanity and Inclusion
Humanity and Inclusion focuses on the physical therapy and rehab after surgeries or trauma, which helps aid those hurt during the Beirut explosion.
Even though I listed only 7 ways, there are still can be more ways to help,. For example, petitions or through doing further research to see what cause or organization you may want to donate to.
