Hospitals in the city are damaged and under-resourced.
To contribute to the collective humanitarian effort, HI will be providing wheelchairs, walking frames and other mobility aids to victims with serious immediate needs who may be discharged from hospital early. We will also distribute wound treatment kits containing alcohol, plasters and bandages to allow those with minor injuries to treat themselves at home and avoid over-burdening hospitals.
HI currently has a team of 98 staff in Lebanon who are all being re-deployed to respond to the crisis. Additional emergency response experts will arrive in the country in the coming days.
