The ongoing war in Syria and the insecurity in the liberated areas in Northern Iraq are reasons why many refugees are still staying in Lebanon. It is well known that the standard of living in Lebanon is very high and even local families with a low income do not have it easy.
In cooperation with the Syriac Youth Union, Syriac Cross has identified needy and refugee families to support them with food vouchers. From 15-16 March, in addition to individual home visits, we received hundreds of people at the Syriac Youth Union centre to distribute food vouchers. In total we were able to help 173 families consisting of 684 family members.
This project was funded by Shai Fund and Brentwood United Methodist Church.
