Since February 28, the escalating military violence in the Middle East has been worsening and widening, with humanitarian needs rising rapidly:

  • More than 2,000 people have been killed, and more than 20,000 people are injured. Nearly 4 million people are internally displaced. In Lebanon alone, more than 810,000 people, including 290,000 children, have been forced to flee their homes.
  • Hostilities have affected 14 countries so far, destroying or damaging schools, hospitals, health centres and energy infrastructure.

The Humanitarian Coalition (HC) is raising funds to rush life-saving assistance to people in need in Lebanon, Syria and across the wider region. The HC comprises 12 leading international aid organizations in Canada including the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. As a member of the Foodgrains Bank, Alongside Hope is able to participate in emergency fundraising appeals.
