Lebanon Aid Group Launches Fund Drive for Lebanese Conflict Victims

BEIRUT (AP) — A new website aims to provide crucial support for Lebanese families displaced by the recent Israeli-Lebanese conflict. LebanonFamiliesFund.com, launched June 25, 2024, seeks to fund evacuations and sustain those forced from their homes.

The platform's goals include:

• Financing safe evacuation from conflict zones
• Securing temporary housing for displaced families
• Providing essential supplies including food and medicine
• Offering ongoing support throughout the displacement period

The site's founder, said the initiative responds to urgent humanitarian needs created by the conflict's escalation.

"Every contribution directly impacts a family's safety and well-being," the founder said. "We're focusing on immediate action and sustainable support."

The site partners with local aid organizations to distribute resources effectively. A real-time update system allows donors to track the impact of their contributions.

Funds are allocated as follows:

• 40% for evacuation efforts
• 30% for temporary housing
• 20% for essential supplies
• 10% for operational costs

The founder emphasized the platform's commitment to transparency, with all financial information available on the website.

The conflict, which continued/escalated on October 8, 2023, has displaced around 28,000 families, according to reliefweb (source), and according to UN reports.

(The math: 111,940 individuals displaced / 4 (average household size in Lebanon) = 27,985 families displaced)
