Emergency Response in Lebanon
On Wednesday 4th August 4, 2020, at around 6pm Beirut time, two explosions occurred at the Port of Beirut causing over 5000 casualties and incredible material damage. A large number of people have lost their homes and livelihoods, adding-up to Lebanon’s compounding financial and economic crisis since October 2019.
Just 24 hours later Rapid Response (RR) Team Foundation, was on ground, providing aid and protection to the most vulnerable people, and cooperating with recognized local organizations for both short-term relief and longer-term recovery.
The trauma suffered in the explosions will extend beyond the physical reconstruction. Mental health needs will remain manifest, especially for already vulnerable populations. Our specialists in mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) are delivering, out of our mobile mental health center, Psychological First Aid (PFA), psychosocial support (PSS) and continued case management.
