In time of war: update from the South of Lebanon

Dear friends and supporters,

another short update from our friends in Lebanon.

The Israeli army has released an “evacuation” or “expulsion” order on Twitter – that’s how people in Lebanon are supposed to stay informed on what’s going to happen to them. According to this message, the whole population of the South of the country should leave. This region includes the cities of Sour/Tyre and Bint Jbeil, and likely hundreds of thousands of people, most of them with absolutely nowhere else to go.

The targeted region also includes three UN refugee camps near Sour/Tyre. One of them, Burj el Shemali, hosts the kindergarten that we support, and of course the teachers, the children and their families. We were there last May.

So far, very few families have left the refugee camps.

We will keep you up to date.
