❌ They have VERY LITTLE food
❌ There is SEVERE overcrowding issues
❌ There is HIGH COMPETITION for what little food and water there may be

And to make things WORSE? Winter brings with it a PLETHORA of difficulties.
❌ Many crops do NOT GROW in cold temperatures

But can you imagine NOT having ANY way to protect yourself?
Fortunately, there is a way we can help
URGENT: The current global pandemic has put increased strain on refugees. Without proper awareness or protective equipment, the spread of disease has made it increasingly difficult/dangerous to get access to food, water, and medical supplies. In Lebanon, many families are still feeling the aftershocks of the August port explosions that left 300,000 people homeless. They need our help now more than ever.
