Helping displaced persons in Lebanon and Israel
The American Institute of Philanthropy gives the following list of charities helping ‘refugees’ in Lebanon and Israel. (These people should perhaps more properly be called ‘displaced persons’ because the great majority have not left their country of origin — see the UNHCR definition of refugee. The number of such people in Lebanon ranges from between half a million and one million.)
The list is American and therefore contains US phone numbers:
· American Jewish Committee
1-212-751-4000
· American Near East Refugee Aid
1-202-347-2558
· American Refugee Committee
1-612-872-7060
· Catholic Relief Services
1-410-625-2220
· Direct Relief International
1-800-676-1638
· Doctors Without Borders, USA
