Across Lebanon, Palestine and the wider Middle East, women and families are facing unimaginable hardship as violence and conflict continue to force people from their homes.
Many have lost everything. Homes have been destroyed, communities torn apart, and families forced from their homes with nowhere safe to go. Mothers are struggling to find food for their children, while women and girls face growing risks as they try to survive each day.
In Lebanon alone, one in five people have been displaced by violence in recent months. Many families are now living in temporary shelters without reliable access to food, healthcare or other essential services.
Can you make a special gift today to help provide emergency shelter, food, medical care and psychological support to women and families affected by conflict?
Your generosity will help deliver practical, life-saving support to people who have already endured too much loss, trauma and uncertainty.
Taghreed is a mother from Gaza who once built a small business renting children’s dresses for weddings and celebrations. She worked hard to create a better future for her family.
When violence escalated, everything changed. Taghreed and her family were forced to flee their home and seek safety in Khan Younis.There was little food, limited access to water and no stable income.
Like countless women across the region, Taghreed lost her home, her livelihood and the life she had worked so hard to build.
“We just want to live a decent life, like so many people around the world. Despite everything, I still hold on to hope.”
Thanks to supporters like you, Taghreed received counselling that helped her rebuild her confidence and resilience. Today, she is determined to move forward and create a brighter future for her family.
Women like Taghreed continue to show extraordinary courage in the face of conflict and displacement. But they cannot do it alone.
Many women across Lebanon, Palestine and across the Middle East are living through conflict, displacement and crisis with little protection or stability. For many, simply surviving each day means facing hunger, fear and uncertainty.
Across the region, more than one million people have been displaced in recent months. Families are now living in temporary shelters without reliable access to food, healthcare or essential services. Women and girls are especially at risk as they try to rebuild their lives.
With the support of kind people like you, ActionAid works alongside local women-led organisations to provide vital support to women and families affected by conflict and displacement. Together, we deliver emergency shelter, food, medical care and psychological support, as well as dignity kits and protection services for women and girls.
