Lebanon in Crisis - Help Today
Information available to ACN indicates more than 1,200 people killed, including 120 children, and approximately 3,000 others injured. Large areas of southern villages have been cleared as part of efforts to establish control over the border.
Despite the uncertainty and hardship, many Christians express a strong desire to remain. Both young people and the elderly are determined to stay in their homes and on their land. But they need our help.
ACN representatives have visited two religious institutions who have opened their doors to the faithful: Perpetual Help Shelter – The Sisters of the Perpetual Help are hosting 14 Christian families in their convent. Greek-Melkite Patriarchate Shelter – currently hosting 29 Christian families (approximately 130 people). They are in need of resources.
Please reach out today and listen to the words of Bishop Boutros of Lebanon as he speaks of the crisis.
