The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has led to mass displacement in Lebanon and emergency aid is needed urgently. Around the world, members of the Xavier Network are mobilizing support for the work of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) in Lebanon.
Your support is crucial.
According to the UN and Lebanese authorities over a million people, including some JRS staff, have been forced to flee their homes due to the escalating conflict.
At this time, JRS Lebanon is shifting its focus and resources to provide emergency aid and shelter. Teams have been distributing basic hygiene items, mattresses, and food in the shelters near the JRS Lebanon centers located in safer regions. Additionally, JRS has set up a space to accommodate displaced people, including migrants.. By Friday, September 27, JRS was caring for 3,428 displaced individuals who had taken shelter in Bar Elias, the Arrupe Migrant Center, Qabelias Elementary School, and other areas.
Our friends and partners on the ground are in urgent need of support for this endeavor in the short term and will need continued aid as the situation develops in the long term.
