With the start of the ceasefire, we at Zayir UK have revised our action plan to address the evolving needs of families in Lebanon.
Our mission is to provide maximum support as they work to rebuild their lives.
This plan is informed by extensive discussions with local authorities, community leaders, shelter leads, and medical facility representatives in Lebanon.
