Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and are on the run in Lebanon. Tens of thousands are seeking refuge in Syria. Even many Syrian refugees in Lebanon are fleeing back to Syria, in desperation. But these refugees are also unsafe in Syria and have nothing to fall back on. The need in the border areas is therefore immense. ZOA is present to provide emergency aid together with local partners.
In Gaza, there is hardly any aid available for the victims of the violence in Gaza. The humanitarian situation there is dire. The inhabitants of Gaza are short of all basic necessities: water, food, medicine, shelter and hygiene. Where possible, ZOA provides emergency aid there through a Christian partner and the local church.
