In 10 minutes, Israel dropped over 100 bombs across Lebanon. More than 300 people were killed. 1,000 wounded. Hospitals ran out of trauma kits as the casualties kept coming.

But the doctors didn’t stop. With over 50 colleagues killed, they operate by generator light. Rescue teams dig through rubble with bare hands. Injured parents scream for children they can’t find. And 1.2 million people have been forced to flee their homes.

These people are risking everything. Your donation can help turn their sacrifice into progress. If enough people give, we will:
• Support emergency relief teams in Lebanon providing urgent aid to families hit by bombardment and displacement
• Give children a safe place to heal — from Lebanon’s bomb shelters to Palestine’s checkpoints, kids need care and hope
• Support new leaders and democratic grassroots structures in the region, so communities can rebuild with accountability, dignity, and hope
• Strengthen campaigns for peace, protection, and justice so the push for a future beyond war never stops
