Over 700,000 displaced have taken refuge in the 'safer' parts of beirut, mount lebanon, and north of beirut.

The Lebanese government does not have the resources [nor the will, it seems] to provide sufficient aid for the displaced.
This is most likely due to the massive corruption infesting all ranks of the current government.

Due to this and other factors, grassroots movements have sprouted left and right to accommodate the needs of the displaced.

In this PhotoDocumentary, we tag along on a food drive organized by a few youths from the metn region of roumieh.

The communities in that area are still very closely knit, so these youths were able to collect cash donations by simply going door to door in their respective neighborhoods.

With the cash in hand, they worked out a list of goods to purchase, based on a needs assessment they had conducted in visits to the refugees.



Here, they had to purchase canned goods since kitchens had yet to be set up.



Goods purchased: Sardines, Tuna, Fortified Powder Milk, Processed Cheese, Fool, & Toilet Paper



Enough to feed 1200 refugees for 3 days.



these goods were delivered to the refugees residing in Beit Mery, Brummana, & Baabdat
