An update from FAID in time of war

Dear friends and supporters,

we have an update from FAID that we would like to share with you. The school is closed at the moment, given the very serious situation:

“A large number of our students live in the southern suburbs of Beirut, areas that have been heavily targeted on a daily basis. Many families there are being forced to evacuate their homes. At the same time, the South and the Bekaa region are also experiencing intense military activity, which has led to further displacement and fear among the communities we serve.
We are grateful to share that, at this moment, our staff and students remain safe. Many of the Syrian families we work with have temporarily returned to Syria until the situation becomes more stable.

[…]
Even in areas that are not currently experiencing heavy attacks, there remains a constant sense of insecurity. The presence of drones and fighter jets overhead day and night, along with ongoing naval activity along the coast, has created an atmosphere where many people feel that nowhere in Lebanon is truly safe.”

The school is trying to keep track of the whereabouts of the students and their families.

We will keep you up-to-date.
