Emergency Appeal - Middle East Crisis

Lebanon's Children Need Help Now.

 

 

What Happened?

Renewed hostilities since 2 March 2026 have engulfed Lebanon. Airstrikes across Beirut, Bekaa, Baalbek‑Hermel, and the south have forced more than one million people to flee their homes— including 300,000 children already scarred by repeated displacement.

 

On 8 April, a nationwide surge of strikes led to more than 250 casualties and injured around 1,000 in one of the deadliest single days of the conflict , with numbers expected to rise as rescue efforts continue.

 

Shelters are overwhelmed, and humanitarian needs are escalating across the country. Families are struggling to access safety and basic necessities. For children, this is yet another chapter in their childhood marked by disrupted education, shattered safety, and compounding trauma.

What World Vision Is Doing

Since March, our teams have reached more than 840,000 people with hot meals,  ready-to-eat food, and emergency support — prioritising displaced children and families in collective shelters. We're also working to keep children connected to psychosocial support, safe spaces, and education.

 

But our resources are critically limited and running out fast.

Needs Are Rising. Help Us Reach More People

 

We need USD 15 million (approximately RM60 million) to deliver food, clean water, and child protection services to those who need it most.

 

Your support can make an immediate impact:

 

• For around RM145, you can feed a family of 5 for 15 days.

• For around RM300, you can supply a family of 5 with clean water for 2 months.

• For around RM780, you can keep a family of 5 warm with sufficient heating fuel for 2 months.

• For around RM3,935, you can help repair and weatherproof a shelter, keeping displaced families safe from the cold and rain.

 

Urgent support is required to ensure continuity of these interventions and prevent further deterioration for affected families.
