Catholic Relief Services Support for Lebanon

From Catholic Relief Services, August 6, 2020. 

• EMERGENCY UPDATE: As search and evacuation efforts continue, there is increasing concern of potential food shortages and price increases. Lebanon is already suffering from an economic crisis, hosting more than a million Syrian refugees while battling the COVID-19 pandemic. 300,000 people have been displaced, and those who have been affected by the explosion are in immediate need of food, shelter, hygiene supplies and medical and psychosocial support.
• CRS RESPONSE: Along with Caritas Lebanon, CRS is distributing emergency supplies, clearing rubble, and preparing medical and mental health teams for dispatch.
