Lebanon Emergency Response
Help Provide Essential Aid
The sharp escalation of conflict since October 2024, combined with economic collapse and regional instability, has triggered a severe humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. Over 90,000 people have been displaced along the southern border, and the national currency has lost more than 90% of its value (World Bank), fueling massive unemployment and pushing three-quarters of the population into poverty. More than 2 million people are now food insecure, with urgent needs for healthcare, and shelter. Help us provide immediate relief to those in need and bring hope in the midst of this escalating crisis.
Provide essentials during this critical time:
$50 Food Packages ensure families don’t go hungry.
$20 Hygiene Kits help safeguard health and dignity in these challenging conditions.
Your support will provide critical relief for at-risk children and the elderly, while easing stress and reducing health risks for widows and displaced families.
Be their lifeline, send your support today!
Our Work in Lebanon
Since 2001, Zakat Foundation supporters and relief specialists have been on the ground in Lebanon, aiding victims of war, conflict, and displacement through our Seasonal Islamic Giving Program. When the 2020 Beirut explosion struck, we responded immediately with Emergency Relief. Our teams also provide refugee children with education, vocational training, health clinics, food, medicine, and essential supplies. Every year, thousands of refugees receive full Ramadan Iftar meals. During Eid al-Adha, we deliver freshly slaughtered Udhiyah (Qurbani) sacrifices to those in need, ensuring they are supported with dignity and compassion.
