Lebanon is enduring its darkest days since the start of the humanitarian crisis in 2008.
Over 2,000 people, including 50+ children, have lost their lives since the conflict began last October. More than 1.2 million innocent muslim brothers and sisters have been displaced from their homes, desperately fleeing the violence and terror from constant bombardment.
Hundreds of airstrikes have decimated entire neighborhoods, reducing over 24,000 homes and buildings to rubble, leaving countless families with nowhere to turn.
1.2 million people have been displaced since the conflict began.
400,000+ children do not have a roof over their head. The shelter is simply not there. Entire communities destroyed as airstrikes continue to escalate.
50% of schools are being used as shelters. Leaving thousands of children without education.
Hospitals are overflowing, education has come to a halt, and food is running out.
Salim*, 45, is a father of three boys aged 12, 16 and 17 from the south of Lebanon. In the past year, his family was forced to relocate eight times. The family is now staying at a school used as a collective shelter in Bekaa, eastern Lebanon, sharing a classroom with another family. He said:
“Every time we thought this was it, and we could settle down, take a breath, we were forced to move again. None of my children have received a proper education since 2020. Now, all they care about is making sure we’re safe and together. I never wanted this for them. I wanted them to have the freedom to dream, to chase after those dreams when the time was right, and to live their lives to the fullest. But now, all I want is for them to survive. Dreams have been replaced by basic survival. Food, education, and medication, these things have become distant luxuries.”

Imagine you couldn’t provide these basic necessities for your children while protecting them from a terrible situation. This is a reality for many Lebanese brothers and sisters.
The healthcare and education systems are headed towards total collapse. There’s a lack of anesthesia and basic surgery and medical equipment. Schools are being repurposed into shelters and children are being neglected and are losing their future in real time. They need our urgent support, and they need it now.
This is our call to action as an Ummah. The Ummah is one body and if one part of the body feels pain, we all do.
First Gaza, now Lebanon. Our Ummah is at its breaking point. Our support is needed now more than ever.

For Verily, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Said: “Save yourself from Hellfire even by giving half a date in charity.” - (Sahih al-Bukhari)
By easing the pain of those suffering in Lebanon, you are not just offering them comfort and hope—you are securing relief for yourself on the Day when we will all stand before Allah.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever relieves a believer of distress in this world, Allah will relieve him of distress on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim)
Our acts of generosity could be the difference between life and death for someone in desperate need. By relieving their hardship, you are paving the way for Allah to relieve your own hardships in this life and the next.
