Emergency Relief

South Lebanon - October 2024
On October 8, Nawraj initiated a relief campaign to help communities in South Lebanon. Nawraj provided essential items such as food parcels, diesel, diapers, infant milk, personal care and hygiene products, home dispensary material, and medicine to the frontline villages. Since the war began, Nawraj pursues its mobilization efforts to provide necessities to the border populations and the displaced families who are in need.
Nawraj organized a press conference on May 21st in collaboration with the Catholic Information Center and 13 southern border municipalities. The aim was to raise awareness among officials and citizens about the destruction caused by the war and the marginalization of these areas in terms of emergency assistance. A joint statement, drafted by the 13 participating frontline villages, appealed to state institutions to address their legitimate demands for urgent assistance, support, and compensation plans.

Covid-19 pandemic and the Beirut port explosion (2020)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lebanon was hit by a massive blast, which caused the biggest non-nuclear explosion in the capital city of Beirut. The blast resulted in the deaths of over 230 people, injured 7,000, destroyed 77,000 homes, and left 300,000 homeless. In response, Nawraj utilized its wide network across the country to provide emergency assistance to schools, hospitals, dispensaries, and homes. The aid included hundreds of food rations, more than 2 million masks and gloves, medicine, and other necessary supplies.
This emergency aid was possible thanks to donations made by private citizens, members of the Lebanese diaspora, the German Evangelical Church, and the Region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (France) and with the instrumental support of CMA-CGM Foundation.

Rebuilding the Ashes
In the aftermath of the blast, Nawraj immediately sprang into action to provide relief efforts. The team worked tirelessly to renovate hospitals, distribute essential medicines and food rations, rehabilitate 61 homes before the rainy season, and assist schools in resuming their educational programs as quickly as possible.
The Rosary Hospital in Gemmayzé was severely damaged. Nawraj supported the renovation of the hospital to quickly reactivate its departments, starting with emergency services, particularly during the Covid pandemic.
