The economic downturn, steep inflation, COVID-19 and the Beirut blast have pushed Syrian refugees in Lebanon to the brink.

Our partnership is protecting children and helping families cope with the impact of multiple crises by sending food straight to their homes.Â

Technology is changing the future of work, and there’s no reason refugees should be left behind in the process. Enter EMPACT.

Humanitarian advocate Rima Fakih and NYTimes columnist Nicholas Kristof joined WFP’s Valerie Guarnieri and moderator Femi Oke for a lively exchange on how this triple threat has upended the health and security of billions of people around the world.  Â

We’ve been on the ground since the blast assisting those most in need with food parcels, hot meals and now, cash.

After the devastating blast hit Beirut, Lebanese families are even more desperate for a safety net. We’re stepping in to help them get through each month with e-cards.Â

The campaign was launched less than two weeks ago, exceeding $1 million in just ten days. The funds will go immediately to help the victims of the Beirut explosion.

We’re scaling up rapidly to reach 1 million people across the country – including thousands of Beirut families devastated by the blast.
World Food Program USA stands by the Lebanese people during this challenging time and is committed to supporting their immediate needs and long-term recovery.

This urgent fundraiser – kicked off with a $250,000 donation from Sal & Rima Slaiby – will support the Lebanese Red Cross, the United Nations World Food Programme and Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon.
