The ongoing airstrikes by Israeli occupation regime on Lebanon have resulted in widespread displacement and humanitarian need, prompting the Hope Caravan Foundation to issue a plea for aid.

The foundation, which has been actively involved in providing relief to Palestinians—particularly in Gaza—both before and after the events of October 7, has now shifted focus to Lebanon, where relentless airstrikes have compounded an already dire situation.

As the situation grows increasingly dire, especially in the southern regions, the foundation has intensified its efforts to address the urgent needs of those affected.

For nearly a month, Hope Caravan has been working to mobilize resources and aid for those displaced in Lebanon, many of whom are women and children.

In an interview with Ilke News Agency (ILKHA), Hope Caravan’s President, Cengiz Kurtaran, emphasized the organization’s ongoing efforts to support Gaza and the newly intensified need in Lebanon.

“We continue to increase our aid efforts for Gaza both before and after October 7," Kurtaran stated. "In recent days, we are trying to meet the needs of Gaza by sending 12 trucks of aid materials through Jordan.”

However, the situation in Lebanon has become equally urgent. “Zionist barbarians have increased their attacks against Lebanon,” Kurtaran noted. “With the attacks on South Lebanon, our brothers and sisters are being forced to flee to different regions, deeper into the country. This situation is affecting women and children the most, and as we approach winter, the need for food, hot meals, bread, and tents grows even more critical.”

The foundation is now calling on benefactors for urgent support, especially as the region faces harsh winter conditions. Kurtaran urged donors to act swiftly, highlighting that the immediate needs of the displaced population include basic essentials such as food and shelter.

As the conflict continues, Hope Caravan's efforts are a vital lifeline for those displaced and affected by the violence in Lebanon. The foundation's ongoing mission reflects a broader commitment to supporting vulnerable populations in the Middle East, advocating for humanitarian aid in regions where the effects of conflict are most devastating. With the worsening crisis, the call for international solidarity and assistance has never been more crucial. (ILKHA)
