Why?
The project aims to support the Lebanese Red Cross in scaling up their response capacity. Lebanese Red Cross is the important player in the domain of ambulance services and blood transfusion services in Lebanon. LRCS accepted by all, due to their neutrality and impartiality in helping all in need. LRCS has safe acces and can navigate blockades and demonstrations, amid times of unrest and economical crisis.

Extra funds are needed for LRCS to be able to continue the delivery of adequate assistance to Lebanese communities and refugees hosted in the country.
