This fund splits donations evenly between two organizations on the ground working to support those affected by the explosion in Beirut, Lebanon. International Medical Corps: IMC launched emergency services to support the response to the explosion and are coordinating closely with the government, Red Cross and other responders to quickly provide surge capacity to stretched hospitals and health facilities. IMC teams are mobilizing urgently needed supplies and deploying staff from unaffected health facilities to hospitals caring for patients. They are also preparing to support mental health needs for those affected by this emergency. UNICEF: UNICEF is co-ordinating very closely with authorities and partners on the ground to respond to the needs of those affected, including health workers and other front-line workers. We have provided drinking water to the staff at the Beirut port and are supporting the Ministry of Public Health to take out what is left of stored medicines and vaccines in a warehouse at the port. Child protection partners are providing psycho-social support to affected children across the city. Over the coming days, we will increase our efforts to reach families in need with assistance.

A devastating explosion that rocked Beirut on August 4 — killing at least 140, wounding more than 5,000 and displacing 300,000 from their homes, including 100,000 children — was the latest chapter in an already terrible crisis unfolding in Lebanon. Economic collapse, food insecurity and a surge in COVID-19 cases have left children and families across the country in need of emergency assistance. UNICEF staff are helping authorities assess urgently needed medical and vaccine supplies, rushing bottles of water to first responders and residents in the Beirut port area and working with child protection colleagues to reunite children separated from their families and provide counseling to children traumatized by this latest catastrophe. Ten containers of personal protective equipment including hundreds of thousands of gloves, gowns and masks just procured by the Ministry of Public Health for the COVID response were destroyed. UNICEF is working with WHO to immediately replace these supplies. UNICEF staff are distributing vital supplies including critical medications, mattresses, blankets, towels, hygiene kits and drinking water. Initial reports indicate that 120 public and private schools serving approximately 55,000 children were damaged in the blast; it will be crucial to rehabilitate them before the start of the new school year. UNICEF is estimating that it will need $8.2 million to support children and families in the aftermath of the explosion and the ongoing economic crisis.

MISSION, VISION VALUES Co-founded in 2012, FoodBlessed is a pioneering hunger-relief AND food-rescue youth-led non-profit organization that seeks to provide an effective and efficient solution to hunger, while addressing the serious and growing problem of food waste in Lebanon, one meal at a time. FoodBlessed is the only community-based and volunteer-driven organization in Lebanon and the region that works with the civil society and strategic partners to reduce the number of people going hungry in Lebanon, while making sure no good food goes to waste. FoodBlessed is a non-religious and non-partisan humanitarian organization. MISSION - To unite and nourish communities across Lebanon through the power of food, social responsibility and volunteerism. VISION - Create a community which works towards making sure that the food insecure, hungry and homeless don't end up sleeping on an empty belly or feeling ostracized; that good food, which is usually wasted, doesn't end up in bins but rather in bellies; and that community members are given the opportunity to better serve their communities. VALUES - FoodBlessed firmly believes that food is a vital tool to supporting local communities, bringing people together and connecting us as human beings. That is why in addition to feeding empty bellies, they also use food to build communities, tackle loneliness and provide spaces for people from different backgrounds and walks of life to meet, share, and to make friends. That's why: -We put people at the heart of what we do. -We are inclusive and welcome everyone. By using inclusive language, we demonstrate respect in both our workplaces and in developing and delivering policies, programs, and services for people in need across Lebanon regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity, because at the end of the day we're all human beings and we deserve to be acknowledged for being just, above anything else. -We stimulate discussions; we create connections; we build communities. -We establish long-term and rewarding relationships with our guests, our volunteers, our partners, our suppliers, our supporters and our volunteers. -We make use of resources that already exist. -We work on rebuilding the dignity of those in need and restoring their confidence in their community. Instead of lining up for food, like in most soup kitchens, our guests are invited to sit down at our table where they are served their food by our Hunger Heroes. -We nurture our planet; we collect surplus food; we use spare local kitchens; we support communities to access available resources. We're innovative with what already exists and always look to tread gently on our planet. -We have adopted a zero-tolerance approach against any type of discrimination or harassment that is based not just on gender identity and sexual orientation but also on age, religion, colour, ethnicity, nationality etcetera. At FoodBlessed, when we talk about gender, sex characteristics or sexuality, we're not talking about preferences or choices. We're just talking about how people are. -We do it with love. Whether it is a meal cooked and served or a food parcel packed and delivered, it is always done with love. FoodBlessed's number one rule is "what is done with love is done well, so do it with love". Indeed, FoodBlessed believes in the power of communal eating and community solidarity in rebuilding the dignity of those in need and restoring their confidence in their community.
