Syrian Refugees in Lebanon

As the Syrian crisis reaches unprecedented proportions, Amel has been expanding its help by providing winter relief to more than 6000 Syrian refugees. The overall plan included the distribution of different kits to families (clothes, hygiene and sanitary kits, basic items such as mattresses, blankets, pillows, food kits and kitchen supplies). Most of the kits are distributed through Amel’s local network in the different community centers across the country. In other cases, Amel visited collective shelters of Syrian refugees in order to deliver the support items.

In April 2012, Amel launched free medical consultations for refugees in its center of Ersal, North Bekaa. With the continuous increase of Syrian refugees, the association decided in May 2012 to expand to three additional centers in Bekaa (in El Ain, Kamed el Loz and Mashgharah). In September 2012, a first mobile clinic was launched in North Bekaa.
