The poor in Lebanon are preparing for the return of the winter season which is a nightmare that drowns Lebanon in floods and waste. It seems for this category of people like they are destined to live with the minimum dignity in an economically collapsed country whose currency has lost about 80 percent of its value and does not have the proper infrastructure to protect them from the wrath of storms and snow. Add to Lebanon's list of challenges for this year a global pandemic and Beirut Blast.

Blankets, mattresses, heaters, and fuel are among the most important needs that URDA considers as priorities since Lebanon is expected to witness several snowstorms this season. As for the food parcels provided, will feed an entire family (an average of 5 individuals) for a whole month considering the ongoing rise in the prices of food commodities. The tent tarpaulins will be a temporary solution for families who are sheltered in dilapidated tents.
