As promised, the Lebanese Red Cross has now published an external evaluation of its cash assistance program in response to the Beirut Port Explosion. You can also find multiple stories of beneficiaries on the Lebanese Red Cross YouTube channel. Through this report and these stories, we hope that every person who donated generously, can see the impact that their assitance has had, and the change it has made in the lives of more than 10,800 affected families.
Today, in an increasingly challenging and unstable context, the LRC is now refocusing its efforts on ensuring the continuity of its vital public services, and on responding in the most relevant way possible, and at the scale of the country, to the multiple ongoing crises.
Our priorities are:
1. Continue providing free emergency medical care (ambulance service) to all the population in Lebanon (140,000 persons per year on average), despite the complete loss of local funding for this service.
2. Increase the number of blood units that are collected, tested and prepared to support patients in all hospitals (more than 42,000 blood units delivered annually)
3. Scale up our capacity to deliver vital life-saving primary healthcare services and medicine for free to 200,000 persons per year, compared to 50,000 persons in 2021
4. Continue responding to the ongoing COVID19 crisis: ambulance response, vaccinations, awareness campaigns, O2 machines and home visits
