On August 4th a devastating explosion ripped through the heart of Beirut, Lebanon, destroying homes, killing dozens and injuring hundreds. Many are still missing and many will die due to critical injuries sustained in the blast. Tens of thousands have lost their homes and vital infrastructure has been damaged beyond repair.
Hospitals are at full capacity and many have been left on the street with nowhere to go, struggling to find food for their families. This has come at a difficult time for Lebanon as they are already dealing with an economic crisis, political instability and the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
PWRDF has pledged $25,000 to an ACT Alliance response to the explosion. ACT Alliance has been responding to the refugee crisis in Lebanon as part of their regional appeal covering Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
