Lebanon is in Crisis
Military activity and airstrikes across Lebanon have forced over one million civilians to evacuate their homes. Families are staying in crowded shelters set up in schools and other public buildings, while some have been forced to sleep outdoors due to lack of space. Experts say this is a large-scale displacement crisis, with many homes destroyed.
Our long-standing Baptist Partner in Lebanon is especially important to us. Together, with your generosity, we’ve been serving vulnerable people through their ministries for 10 years. Now they’re counting on us more than ever.
With Lebanon already struggling with the highest refugee population per capita and a severe economic crisis, the country is ill-equipped to cope with the number of people who currently need humanitarian assistance.
Our Baptist Partner is working closely with the local Church to help meet people’s urgent needs.
‘Daily life has been upended as places like schools have turned from institutions of learning into shelters,’ said our Partner.
Your donation will mean our Baptist Partner in Lebanon can provide essentials such as hygiene kits, bedding, food, and mental health support.

Lebanon Crisis Response Frequently Asked Questions
Your donation will help provide essentials for displaced families, such as:
- Ready to eat foods so families can stay well fed
- Mattresses and blankets so people can sleep in temporary shelters
- Hygiene kits to help people stay clean and healthy while far from home
We respond where there is need, and are currently working with our long-standing Baptist Partner in Lebanon as they care for the thousands of displaced families in Lebanon.
As part of our relationship with Partners working on the ground, we feel it is important that we do everything that we can to protect the safety of our partners so they can continue their life-saving work.
If information about our Partners is readily available, it could put both our Partners and the communities they’re supporting in danger. As such, we limit the information that is accessible outside of our organisation for this reason. It’s in no way a reflection of our desire for the Australian church to stand with us in prayer for these Partners even if their identities are not widely revealed.
As an accredited Australian organisation, we are required to ensure that none of our funding is provided to individuals, groups or organisations associated with identified terrorist entities. One way this is done is through checking all relevant partner staff and volunteers against several anti-terrorism lists from around the world, as well as checks done by our banks prior to the release of funding.
All of our partnerships are vetted carefully and require certain standards and practices that align with both Baptist World Aid’s approach and international principles.
