Lebanese Red Cross Response to War on Lebanon

One Year On: From Emergency to Recovery

It has been one year since the war on Lebanon began, one year of relentless service, compassion, and courage from every Lebanese Red Cross volunteer and staff member.

While a ceasefire has now been set, many communities across Lebanon, especially in the South, are still living the aftermath. The Lebanese Red Cross (LRC) continues to stand beside them, providing essential medical care, relief assistance, and hope as they begin to rebuild their lives.

Our Impact to Date (as of mid-2025)

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters and donors worldwide, the Lebanese Red Cross has reached hundreds of thousands of people affected by the conflict.

Here is what your contribution made possible:

• 125,965 patients provided with emergency medical services
• 40,083 blood units distributed to hospitals and patients
• 547,041 primary healthcare services provided through our Mobile Medical Units and Health Centers
• 198,714 food parcels distributed to conflict-affected families
• 2,800 food parcels distributed to vulnerable households
• 64,221 hygiene kits provided to families in need
• 1,029 households received full cash assistance payments per cycle

Kindly let me know if there is anything I need to remove

Each number represents a story of survival, a family supported, a life saved, a glimmer of hope restored.

A Story of Survival: Abou Hassan

When an airstrike hit his building in Saida, everything Abdelhamid Ramadan, known as Abou Hassan, had ever known collapsed around him. His home, his memories, his family’s laughter, all buried in the ruins.

That day, the attack was one of the most devastating attack our teams had ever faced. Trapped under the rubble, Abou Hassan and his son were fighting for their lives.

For twelve long hours, our Urban Search and Rescue team worked relentlessly, digging, lifting, and listening through the dust and destruction. Finally, they pulled Abou Hassan and his son out alive.

He survived, but not everything could be saved. In the silence that followed, Abou Hassan found the strength to hold onto life, and to the memory of those he loved most.

Once rescued, our ambulance service teams took over, providing urgent medical care and ensuring they reached the hospital safely.

One year later, Abou Hassan’s story still stands as a powerful reminder of what your support makes possible. Because behind every life saved, there is someone like you, giving our teams the strength, training, supplies and equipment they need to keep going.
