Dear friend, The conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate. Israeli forces have crossed into Lebanon and begun a ground offensive targeting Hezbollah — and Iran has responded by launching ballistic missiles at Israel. As the fighting intensifies and danger spreads, Mercy Corps is reiterating our call for an immediate ceasefire, protection of all civilians, the safe return of all hostages, and safe access to humanitarian aid for people in desperate need. Our teams and partners are ramping up our support of civilians across Gaza and Lebanon who face growing dangers from military attacks, displacement, disease, and lack of food and water. We expect to see humanitarian needs increase rapidly as the fighting intensifies — so please make a gift right now to support civilians in Lebanon, Gaza, and 40+ countries. Mercy Corps teams and partners will continue to respond to this crisis — delivering food and meeting basic needs for displaced people across Lebanon and Gaza. As families flee their homes, schools are turned into emergency shelters, and key infrastructure is destroyed, it’s up to us to support the millions of people caught in this year-long crisis. Please rush a gift right now to help families in Lebanon and countries around the world facing conflict and crisis. Thank you for your swift action, — The Mercy Corps team |
