Displaced families and individuals
As the unfortunate war broke out on October 7, 2023, in Gaza/Israel, the south Lebanon area was deeply affected. Most families in these areas had to flee their hometowns, seeking safety elsewhere.
Working Faith stepped in to lend a helping hand in several vectors, as it was one of the few NGOs that function in that area. The municipalities of Alma, Debel, Quozah, Ain Ebel, Borj El Mlouk, Yaroun, and Deir Mimas gave Working Faith contact numbers to all their citizens as their assisting partners. Working Faith team received hundreds of phone calls from the families of those areas sharing their dire need for:
- Lodging in a safer area,
- Provision of food supplies and medicines
- Ensuring blankets and mattresses since the displaced individuals and families were seeking refuge and leaving their homes for safety in other areas.
- Working Faith also provided some displaced families with rented apartments as they have no relatives or friends in Beirut.
