Solidarity in Action - We Stand Together

Humanitarian Response to the Crisis in Southern Lebanon

Solidarity in Action (SIA) continues to support local communities that are helping to alleviate the burden of Lebanon's multifaceted crisis adding to it the escalation in the South of Lebanon. Through SIA, Adyan Foundation has provided support to 5 displacement centers in Tyre providing them with fuel for 7 weeks and offering hot meals to 750 displaced individuals in those centers for a period of 6 days. In addition, 129 households and one health dispensary in Al-Mansouri village were supported through the payment of their generator bills.

As the situation in South Lebanon deteriorated, leading to an increase in the needs of displaced families residing in Tyre. Adyan’s Forum for Religious Social Responsibility (FRSR) members reached out to Adyan for support in addressing these needs. Initially, the focus was on providing food parcels, mattresses, and dignity kits. However, as the crisis escalated, Adyan established a committee consisting of FRSR members, religious leaders from various faiths, and activists to assess and ensure the adequacy of the support. The committee identified additional needs, including fuel for five displacement centers and hot meals for displaced individuals. Furthermore, 129 residents in Al-Mansouri village received support with payments for their generator bills.

Supporting residents and health centers with fuel is critical to ensure the safety of the bordering villages and the provision of urgent medical care.

Humanitarian Response to the Crisis in Southern Lebanon

Solidarity in Action (SIA) is continuing to support local communities that are helping to alleviate the burden of Lebanon's multifaceted crisis adding to it the escalation in south of Lebanon. Through SIA, Adyan Foundation has provided support to 1116 households in 9 villages and one hospital (Bint Jbeil Public Hospital) in different districts in the south over the past few months.

With the escalation of the crisis in the South of Lebanon, Adyan Foundation's Forum for Religious Social Responsibility (FRSR) members approached Adyan for support for displaced families. Adyan consulted its members and appealed to its partners for support for South Relief. Initially, the FRSR members identified the need for food parcels, mattresses, and dignity kits. However, as the situation worsened, a committee of FRSR members, including religious leaders from different faiths and activists, was established to ensure that Adyan's support was adequate. The committee identified a new need for winterization support, specifically fuel for residents, as there was a gap in this area. Additionally, one of the committee members approached Adyan to support Bint Jbeil Hospital with fuel. It is essential to note that supporting residents and hospitals with fuel is crucial to ensure the safety of the surrounding villages and the provision of urgent medical care.

So far, in phase 1 of fuel distribution, Adyan Foundation has distributed fuel to 9 villages and one hospital (Bint Jbeil Public Hospital).
