With your generous support, the Palestinian Women’s Humanitarian Organisation (PWHO) has provided emergency relief to displaced families in Lebanon. Through our Emergency Appeal for Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon, we’ve raised $14,500 AUD so far. These funds have enabled PWHO to distribute 230 food parcels and women’s hygiene supplies to families in Burj al-Barajneh and Mar Elias refugee camps, offering a lifeline to those who have lost everything.

Abeer Al Saleh works part-time at the Palestinian Women's Humanitarian Organization in Lebanon. Abeer’s daughter, seven-year-old Rusul, was born into the Burj el-Barajneh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Beirut, a great-grandchild of the first Nakba of 1948. This was Israel’s first brutal expulsion, forcing an estimated 750,000 people from Palestine and killing another 10,000 to create the state of Israel. This is not just the story of an aid worker—it’s the ongoing story of Palestinian refugees, generations after the Nakba.

In the midst of bombings, evacuations, and widespread fear, the Palestinian Women's Humanitarian Organisation moved quickly to support both its staff and the wider refugee community.
