ACTIVE EMERGENCY

Syria Emergency Response

Lebanon has been struggling with some of the most unimaginable crises on the planet in recent years, including a dire socio-economic situation in the country. On an ongoing basis, Lebanon is dealing with one of the largest refugee populations in the world.

Food for the Hungry (FH) is actively working with our partners to provide relief and meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable Syrian refugee children and families living in Lebanon. 

900,000 REFUGEES FROM SYRIA

are officially hosted in Lebanon. The government estimates 500,000 more live in the country informally

INFLATION RATE IN LEBANON HIT 350%

for food in May 2023 and 269% overall, after a devaluation of the dollar in March

9 out of 10 SYRIAN REFUGEES

in Lebanon now live below the Survival and Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) and are unable to afford essential goods and services

Your generous donation assures that we have the resources needed to continue this life-saving response!

Gift Policy:
You may send small, flat paper-based items that can fit into a standard #10 size envelope, have a value of less than $5 dollars and weigh less than 4 ounces. We ask that you send small, flat items of this size because shipping is expensive and even small gift items can cause issues clearing customs.
You can send postcards or photographs, however, we ask that you visit here for more details about culturally appropriate guidelines for photos and other images. Please write the child’s ID # on the back of each item that you enclose with your letter to ensure that it reaches him/her.
