Medical relief for 150,000 Lebanese civilians

This 8-year-old American boy was visiting Lebanon with his family when the fighting started. As his mother, brother, and he fled, they were shot at with bullets that explode into shrapnel. IMC saved this boy's life, though he will be permanently disfigured. IMC also helped his family evacuate the country through Cyprus. Hundreds of thousands of people living in Lebanon are of another nationality, including children of Armenians who fled genocide in the early 1900s and refugees from Sierra Leone

This 14-year-old Lebanese girl watched her little sister die before receiving serious head injuries herself. IMC doctors in the besieged city of Tyre managed to help her

IMC workers assist fleeing Lebanese civilians at the Syrian border. Refugees now are returning to Lebanon, a situation presenting many of the same problems as when they left. 50-80% of homes in southern Lebanon were destroyed. Where will returnees go?

IMC's mobile clinics have been indispensable at border crossings.
