Middle East Conflict

30/06/2006

The HUMANITARIAN COALITION coordinated a comprehensive and efficient regional response to assist the people touched by this conflict in the Middle East. THE HUMANITARIAN COALITION members were already present in Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Jordan and Syria, all of which were affected by the crisis. The emergency response was based entirely on meeting the needs of the most vulnerable. The HUMANITARIAN COALITION raised $120,000.00. The money raised went directly to the people in region, providing food, water, child protection and social support where it was most needed. Coalition members distributed essential supplies during and immediately following the crisis, including diapers, milk, clothing, hygiene kits and blankets. Support continued after the violence abated with reconstruction projects for municipal water supplies, helping to bring water to more than 2000 homes. In all, your generous donations directly helped improve the lives of 27,496 people, of which a majority were children.
