Supporting Syrian Refugees affected by Floods
The war in Syria has created one of the worst refugee crises of our time and as conflict rages on, returning home seems like a distant dream to displaced families. In Lebanon, Syrian refugees make up more than 25% of the population and many of them reside in overcrowded refugee camps.
On Sunday 6th January, Storm Norma brought heavy snowfall and severe flooding to the the camps of Lebanon, hitting the Bekaa Valley with particular ferocity. This was followed by Storm Miriam and the extreme winter weather, which is already affecting more than 22,000 refugees, is set to continue.
In some camps the water has risen to nearly half a metre, causing damage to precious winter supplies and destroying shelters. Some Syrian families have once again been made homeless and others have lost the essentials they were relying on to see them through the winter.
Our teams are currently on the ground in Bekaa Valley, one of the worst-hit areas, delivering vital aid including heating oil and emergency food parcels to thousands of refugees. With more snowfall expected to continue throughout the week, your help is urgently needed.
