The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) had ordered the evacuation of around a sixth of Lebanon, following Hezbollah firing missiles across the border. This covers around nine square miles (23 square km) of the Lebanese capital Beirut, and more than 100,000 people have ended up in overcrowded shelters or had to sleep rough. 

William Bell, Christian Aid’s head of Middle East policy and advocacy, said:

  “I've seen for myself the damage in Lebanon caused by the destruction of entire apartment blocks following Israel's wars in the country in recent years and the toll months of constant bombing takes on people's mental health as well as the financial strain of displacement. For a second time in as many years, our local partners have opened their doors to families in need of a hot meal and a shower after having to flee their homes". 

Please pray for peace with justice, wisdom for world leaders and food and homes for those displaced and in need.
