"For a year now Lebanon has endured daily bombing and shelling from Israel to the south. Now as the Israeli occupation expands its war of terror, Lebanon is now facing the worst bombing and violence of a generation. Already we have more refugees per capita than any other country in the world and are suffering crushing poverty and constant crisis. Now due to the bombings there is chaos as hundreds of thousands more are displaced and fleeing their homes. Most are desperate for basic needs, food, medicine, places to sleep & grieving the destruction of their homes and the killing of their loved ones.

In response Food not Bombs Lebanon is working to establish community support in various neighborhoods in Beirut. Currently there are two kitchens working to provide food and comfort to those arriving. Unfortunately our resources are limited and costs have risen rapidly. In order to keep up feeding those in dire need and expand our kitchens we are in desperate need of funding.

With your help we can buy ingredients to keep making food and make more of it, cover gas to transport things, as well as start purchasing other essentials like mattresses and blankets. We want to be able to help as much as we can and expand the ways in which we will support the displaced.

Food not Bombs Lebanon is an independent project that first formed in 2020 when we worked to help people survive and recover from the Beirut port explosion. After a hiatus we have now reformed to address the newest catastrophe that our homeland is facing. Our hope is that we can work to not just to respond to this disaster but to build towards a longer-term model of community care and mutual aid."
