Send Medical, Monetary aid and Support to Lebanon

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Much of Lebanon’s crucial Beirut port has been completely decimated, the country had already been in a deep famine and economic crisis. This tragedy has plunged 300,000 people into homelessness and injured many thousands. Lebanon’s healthcare system is completely overwhelmed and needs urgent help!

We ask the government to send emergency: Medical Supplies, Clothes, Food, anything to help. We know this pandemic has been hard on everyone but Lebanon needs us. Up to 70% of Lebanon’s economic output may be effected. Over 150 have been killed. 80% of the Lira’s value has been lost since October, Silos of wheat and grain have been destroyed worsening the country’s famine with toxic nitric acid in the air. We urge the British government to show compassion and help our Lebanese counterparts.
