An emergency appeal by Christian international children’s charity Global Care to help Syrian refugees living in dire conditions in Lebanon, has raised almost £50,000, it was reported in September.
Global Care’s partners in Lebanon are using the money to provide monthly food parcels for families living in tents and makeshift shelters by the roadside in North Lebanon, after fleeing the vicious fighting in Syria. Most of the families have nothing but the clothes on their backs, and all have suffered terrible losses. The food parcels are literally helping them survive.
Global Care’s original commitment to feed 60 families each month from April to December was quickly met and exceeded, with funds raised currently standing at just over £45,000. But with no end in view and the crisis deepening, our partners want to increase this to feed many more families over the winter months up until March. Charity bosses have committed to at least double the funds available and have set a new target of £90,000 by the end of this year.
