Dear friend,
The heavy, freezing rain hasn't stopped in hours. No matter how much she tries, a mother can't dry out her mattress. The roof leaks and electricity is only on for a couple of hours a day. She worries for the health of her children.
No one deserves to live this way.
This is the life-threatening situation for so many refugee families in Lebanon right now. The Bekaa Valley has been ravaged by rain, snow and flooding. It's home to nearly 40 percent of refugees who have sought safety in Lebanon.
These families are so resilient — they've been displaced and rebuilt their lives over and over again. But they need your kindness and compassion to weather this storm. Please send an emergency gift right now so that no one, no matter where they live, will be left out in the cold.
The harsh weather conditions in Lebanon only amplify the already desperate living situation. Shortage of food, a deteriorating economy and utter lack of resources risk lives every day. And it's a very long winter.
But because of you and this powerful community, there's hope. I know you won't give up on these resilient families. Right now, you can protect and shelter people fleeing for their lives around the world — and provide critical aid, like food, shelter and healthcare in extremely dangerous circumstances. This cannot wait — please act now.
With gratitude,
Anne-Marie Grey
Executive Director and CEO
USA for UNHCR.
