International Assistance in Lebanon

Why we are on site

We have been active in the region for years and provide emergency aid with our partners in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon, as far as the security situation allows

Following Hamas' armed attack on Israel on October 7 and Israel's military response against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, fighting continues in the region. There are also tens of thousands of people in Lebanon fleeing to other parts of the country after fighting on the Israeli-Lebanese border.

The civilian population is helplessly at the mercy of the fighting, without being able to protect themselves adequately or receive sufficient medical care. Our Lebanese partner organization Nabaa provided food, beds, mattresses and cash to displaced people from the border region with Israel at short notice.

What we achieve together with our partner organisations

Johanniter International Assistance has been active on site since 2013 and supports the people in the refugee camps through partner organisations. In the past, people living in the camps received hygiene and food packages as well as relief supplies to equip them for the winter. In addition, we also provided support for health care in the city of Majdal Anjar on the border to Syria. Together with our local partner “Naba'a”, we are currently offering vocational training for young refugees with and without disabilities from three Palestinian refugee camps. This puts them in a better position to generate their own income and to provide for themselves in the long term.
