Our teams are responding.

Save the Children already works extensively across Lebanon and the communities in Beirut are well known to us. We are responding to the most immediate and critical needs of children and their families with food, shelter, and psychosocial support. Many children will have had a potentially traumatising experience and will be left with haunting memories.

We're in Beirut right now, providing:

• Weather-proofing kits for families whose windows and doors were destroyed in the explosion
• Psychological first aid for children and families

In the coming weeks, we will:

• Deliver urgent food and hygiene supplies as many shops have been destroyed
• Distribute cash transfers for families struggling to cope
• Support families to teach their children at home
