UNITED MISSION FOR RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT 

UMR Mobilizes Emergency Relief for Lebanon’s Escalating Humanitarian Crisis

Lebanon is experiencing a severe crisis as ongoing conflicts devastate communities across the country. Since October 2023, hundreds of civilians have been killed, with 2,566 casualties reported. More than 113,000 people have been displaced from South Lebanon, and thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed (OCHA). 

Lebanon is also home to 1.5 million displaced Syrians and nearly 500,000 Palestinian refugees, making it one of the largest hosts for refugees. The ongoing conflict has left around 700,000 children out of school (UNHCR). In response, UMR is launching emergency relief efforts, focusing on helping the most vulnerable, including displaced families, women, and children. 

UMR’s Emergency Response: 

UMR is providing lifesaving help to families in urgent need by delivering medical kits, food aid, and shelter supplies. 

  • $12,500 sponsors a medical emergency kit for three months, helping 10,000 patients. 
  • $140/month provides food aid to a household, ensuring access to nutritious meals. 
  • $200 covers non-food items (NFIs), like shelter supplies, to help displaced families stay safe and maintain dignity. 

Your donations will directly support families displaced by violence, including those in overcrowded shelters or temporary housing. Together, we can provide essential relief to those affected by this crisis.

In 2024, Yemen experienced severe flooding that affected 19 governorates, impacting over 400,000 people and severely disrupting the lives of 63,195 households. The floods, which took place from April to August, added to Yemen’s ongoing humanitarian struggles, particularly in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. The hardest-hit areas include Hajjah, Al Hudaydah, Marib, Taiz, Sa’adah, Al Jawf, and Dhamar, where homes, farms, and essential infrastructure were destroyed, increasing the vulnerability of already displaced communities.

The Impact

  • Infrastructure Damage: The floods destroyed more than 17,093 shelters and homes and caused extensive damage to schools and health centers, including key hospitals like Al Thawrah in Al Hudaydah. This has left many without shelter, disrupted education, and put additional strain on an already fragile healthcare system.

  • Health Crisis: Contaminated water sources have led to a rise in cholera and other waterborne diseases, especially in overcrowded IDP camps. Children under five are particularly at risk as suspected cholera cases surge.

  • Food Security: The flooding wiped out farmland and livestock, threatening food security and leaving many families without their primary source of income. This has increased dependence on humanitarian aid, particularly in the worst-affected regions.

  • Education Disruption: With over 2 million children already out of school, the floods have worsened the education crisis. The destruction of schools and economic hardship has forced many families to focus on survival, putting education on hold.

UMR’s Response and Call to Action

UMR, working with partners, has been at the forefront of responding to this disaster. Efforts include distributing essential non-food items, hygiene kits, food parcels, and providing emergency health services at five centers managed by UMR. Despite the ongoing conflict and damaged infrastructure, UMR is dedicated to delivering critical aid to the people who need it most.

Our new partnership with UMR is a testament to our commitment to continue providing lifesaving assistance to those in dire need in Yemen.” — MEDGLOBAL SIDE

The project will focus on supporting primary health services, including reproductive health and nutrition in the Hais Hospital and surrounding district, ensuring the provision of nutrition health services and obstetric and neonatal emergency care in Hais referral hospital. The initiative also includes community awareness and sensitization to improve attitudes towards disease prevention, community in health system management, nutrition, and reproductive health services.
