With the ongoing war in Lebanon, this video was filmed in Rabweh at the Patriarchate of the Melkite Catholic Church, where many displaced families from the Archdiocese of Tyre have found refuge.

In these difficult days, it has become a place of dignity and solidarity, where the Church continues to stand beside those who have been forced to leave their homes.

Fr Richard Pharaon, a young priest serving in the Melkite Catholic Eparchy of Tyre in Southern Lebanon, has been entrusted with coordinating support for countless displaced families who have fled their homes due to the current war. In the midst of this crisis, he continues to lead with faith, compassion and tireless service.

Fr Richard extends his heartfelt gratitude for the support raised through our Emergency Appeal for Lebanon, as he continues to provide essential aid and care to those in urgent need.

The war between Israel and Hezbollah threatens to accelerate the dechristianisation of the land where Christ walked

20/03/2026

War has once again struck Lebanon. Thousands of Christian families have been forced to flee their homes with very few belongings, seeking safety elsewhere in the country.

Some are staying with relatives, while many others are sheltering in churches, monasteries, parish halls, and schools.

With work almost impossible during the conflict, displaced families urgently need support for food, medicine, and basic necessities. Through our churches on the ground, your donation will help provide immediate humanitarian relief.

Thanks to generous matching donors, every dollar donated will be doubled (up to $10,000), so your support goes twice as far.

All contributions are tax-deductible. Visit https://shorturl.at/IDDJ9 to donate today.

Thank you for signing up to this payment plan. Below is the receipt for the first transaction and the detail for the payment plan sign up.
