Funding the Gap: Support the Displaced in Lebanon
The war on Lebanon rages on and the number of displaced people is constantly increasing as Israel expands its attacks on densely populated civilian towns and neighborhoods across South Lebanon and the Bekaa. Humanitarian aid initiatives are also increasing, but more is still needed, with a large number of families stranded off the radar of these initiatives. Reefna (our countryside) is an association based in Southern Lebanon that aims to create open and diverse spaces for dialogue and thinking and to build bridges between different communities in Lebanon. Through our network of friends and supporters we have gained access to an increasing number of families that are stranded in different displacement locations with little access, if any at all, to basic services. We are trying to fill some of the many gaps. Today we are in touch with more than 500 families who are off the radar of humanitarian assistance, and we intend to change that, with your support. The needs are enormous, with winter closing in. We aim to provide dry food assistance, mattresses, medicine, and baby care essentials and female hygiene products for those in need. These families have rough moments ahead of them, help us make them feel hopeful, resilient and not abandoned. Our work has started with the support of our friends, but we need to scale up our support and expand our reach to fund the increasing gap.

Les initiatives d’aide humanitaire se multiplient, mais elles restent insuffisantes, laissant de nombreuses familles en dehors du champ d’action de ces initiatives. Reefna (notre campagne) est une association basée dans le Sud du Liban qui vise à créer des espaces ouverts et diversifiés pour le dialogue et la réflexion, tout en bâtissant des ponts entre les différentes communautés au Liban. Grâce à notre réseau d’amis et de soutiens, nous avons pu identifier un nombre croissant de familles bloquées dans différents lieux de déplacement, avec peu ou pas d’accès aux services de base. Nous essayons de combler certaines des nombreuses lacunes existantes. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes en contact avec plus de 500 familles qui échappent à la portée des initiatives humanitaires, et nous avons l’intention de changer cela avec votre soutien. Les besoins sont immenses, alors que l’hiver approche. Nous avons pour objectif de fournir une aide alimentaire sèche, des matelas, des médicaments, ainsi que des produits essentiels pour les soins des bébés et l’hygiène féminine à ceux qui en ont besoin. Ces familles traversent des moments difficiles. Aidez-nous à leur donner de l’espoir, à renforcer leur résilience et à leur montrer qu’elles ne sont pas abandonnées. Notre travail a commencé grâce au soutien de nos amis, mais nous devons intensifier nos efforts et élargir notre portée pour répondre à des besoins en constante augmentation.

Help the child leliaa to reach her father
My name is sereen Ragheb Abukrayyem. I am 42 years old and a mother of a beautiful child. Leliaa (3years old). ❤️ she is my whole life, light and soul. My child is my fight and what keep me going. Anybody who knows me, knows that I am a very reserved, and private person. I have always been independent and I am used to doing everything on my own for me and my child. So, please understand that it is hard for me to put my personal business out there today and to finally ask for help. My story started in September 13th 2023 when I left my husband and traveled to Gaza with my child to visit my parents and we have never been able to return until now. In the last year we are just trying to survive and battling to be alive till this moment, trying to convince my daughter that we will return to her father and reunion one day. Unfortunately, it doesn’t end there..on january 5th my parents lost there home and we moved to live in a tent with my parents who are suffering from old age and many illness, After a month, we no longer had any money. We could not even buy food or medicine, at that time my parents and i had no sources of income for 9 months and I felt that we were on the verge of death. We had lost all our dreams and memories. We are here killing and being destroyed, and we see that death is very close. I see all of this and I also think about my daughter’s health condition, who needs surgery due to an umbilical hernia. Therefore, we need to be evacuated from here. With my daughter and parents, we may be in a safe place with good living conditions. Recently, my father suffered from a stroke and could no longer move easily. He needs physical therapy and medicines that we can no longer provide. I am here today for asking your help to can survive with my child and parents and take them to Evacuate from this war and reach my husband in Egypt so he can meet his child and embrace her again. I understand we all go through hard times so anything helps.. Whether it be your love & support, a donation, sharing my story, or sending love, prayers, positive & healing vibes. All is accepted and very much appreciated.
