This wave of violence is taking its toll on Lebanese civilians and as of today there are 104,000 newly displaced people, in addition to the 110,000 who have fled the south of the country in the last 11 months. Our teams are working right now to bring urgent aid to the population in distress.

COOPI – Cooperazione Internazionale, which has been active in Lebanon since 2013, is intervening to bring immediate aid assistance to all those who have fled with nothing. Our humanitarian workers are working in the vocational training centre in Siblin, Saida Governorate, and in two schools in Nahr Al Bared, Tripoli Governorate, used as collective shelters. Here we have already welcomed 750 people for whom, thanks to the setting up of two mobile kitchens, we are guaranteeing two meals a day. But the situation is critical. This is why we are launching a fundraising appeal: dona.coopi.org/emergenza-libano
