A staggering number of refugees endure dire living conditions, grappling with the harsh realities of displacement. Forced to flee conflict, persecution, or instability, these individuals often find themselves in overcrowded camps with limited access to necessities such as clean water, sanitation, and healthcare. The plight of Middle Eastern refugees highlights the urgent need for humanitarian efforts to alleviate their suffering and address the root causes driving their displacement.
With your support, we have assisted our refugee brothers and sisters. Collaborating with our MENA office, we have sent containers filled with nonperishable food such as nutritionally high biscuits, hygiene supplies such as diapers, drinking water, and water filtration aids. These supplies are provided to counter the harsh living conditions of these refugees, including lack of food and water. With your support, we can all do our part to provide the bare necessities for survival.
