Together for Lebanon: UPA Launches Urgent Support Campaign for Lebanon

Although Lebanon is no longer in the headlines, millions of people in the country remain with little to no support. 

This September marks thirty-nine years since the Sabra and Shatila Massacre was committed against Lebanese civilians and Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.  

A catastrophe that shocked global consciousness, the massacre led to establishing UPA’s Emergency Relief Fund, which continues to provide quick, efficient, and effective support in times of crisis. 

The ongoing crises that recently brought the country’s economy and public services to a complete halt left more than half the population in poverty. Meanwhile, less than 20 percent of the population is vaccinated against COVID-19, and vulnerable communities remain threatened by the virus and its variants. Most recently, a crippling fuel shortage left hospitals and clinics unable to provide adequate health services. 

Help us raise $100,000 
Together for Lebanon, we will make a difference! 

Currently, UPA’s staff in Lebanon, in cooperation with five credible, vetted, and reputable partner-organizations, are responding to ongoing needs on the ground across all Palestinian refugee camps. 

Together, we are implementing various interventions in the following areas:  

+ Physical and mental health for children, families, and adults who require long-term care.
+ Vouchers and hot meals to combat food insecurity among the elderly and families in need. 
+ Medical supplies and equipment upgrade for local hospitals and clinics. 

Your tax-deductible donation today will help UPA’s services reach more people in the communities we serve!
