βš‘οΈβ­•οΈ URGENT APPEAL TO ACTION: HELP LEBANON. The Naseroon Network that built 2 camps and over 300 tents in Gaza is now working in Lebanon and needs our help as there are over 250,000 Lebanese refugees who are stranded in the streets in addition to the 750,000 others who are in schools, centers, and appartments. The Lebanese Government still does not consider itself at war and does not see any refugee issues happening, so we are the only ones who can help Lebanon collectively together. Naseroon has it's own group of volunteers but they also work with existing organizations that are effective by financing them and helping them too, they are building a network to make help the most effective as possible. Naseroon is still operating in Gaza as we speek and helping thousands. Please help them, thank you. Counting on you.
