The crisis in Lebanon has only heightened the urgency of PWHO’s work. Today, the organisation is mobiliising emergency aid for camps affected by recent Israeli bombings in Beirut. For example, the Burj el Barajneh camp has been evacuated, with residents relocated to other camps and surrounding areas.
Forty-three people took part in the Big Ride for Palestine this year from September 2-17.
After 75 years of exile and dispossession, the Palestinian Women’s Humanitarian Organization is a grassroots group of refugees continuing to build resilience and practical solutions in the face of increasing tensions.
The Big Ride for Palestine is happening again from August 13 – 28. This year money raised will be donated to the Palestinian Women’s Humanitarian Organization.
The situation facing refugees living in camps in Lebanon has always been a challenge. However, in the past 12 months PWHO has had to contend with COVID-19, the impact of the Beirut blast, and the deep Lebanese financial and political crisis since August 2019.
