Thank you!

A huge thank you to all who took part in the Caritas Finland domestic fundraiser! The collection in aid of Caritas Finland’s domestic work generated more than €4,200!

We also want to say Thank You to all those who made the November Market at St Henry’s Parish Hall a success! We posted photos from the bazaar on our Facebook page – are you there?

Caritas helps Syrian refugees in Lebanon

13/5/2014

 
The three-year-long conflict in Syria places an enormous strain on the whole region. Caritas Lebanon works to support Syrian refugees in Lebanon, but the numbers in need of assistance are huge.

According to the UNHCR, the conflict affects more than 2.6 million Syrians in the region, including in Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Lebanon. The UNHCR estimates that Lebanon will have to deal with 1.5  million Syrian refugees, 100,000 Palestinian Refugees from Syria, 50,000 Lebanese returnees and 1.5 million affected Lebanese during 2014.

Caritas Lebanon is doing its share to help. Here are some of the things the organisation has done recently:

March: Caritas Lebanon primary health care centers participated in the third national Polio immunization campaign which reached 600,000 children under 5.

February and March: thousands of Syrian refugees received primary healthcare services through Caritas Lebanon.

Caritas Lebanon also distributed more than 2,000 food kits, more than 15,000 hygiene kits, 8,254 baby kits and more than 10,000 winter blankets.

The formation of a new government in Lebanon ended a 10-month political stalemate which coupled with the spillover of violence from Syria, had worsened internal stability. However, the increasing impact of the Syrian conflict on Lebanon means that the security situation is likely to remain volatile at least on the short term. 

Please help us to help:
