Meeting Needs After the Beirut Blast

The explosion at the Port of Beirut last week has been described as Lebanon's 9/11. All of us in the city can recall the exact place we were standing when it happened. Many of our migrant workers were at home or at work. Many of them experienced windows blown out and walked away with minor injures and some have all of their belonging buried in rubble.

We are grateful that Insaaf Director, Sarah Chetti, and Assistant Director, Elma Khoury were not at the Insaaf Center at the time of the explosion. The windows of the Center were blown out by the blast, being 4 kilometers away, Partner church, Resurrection Church Beirut sent a team to help clean up the mess.

Insaaf delved into helping out injured MWDs by taking them to various clinics to treat their injures. We are in touch with our migrant churches to see how we can serve their congregations. We are also grateful for our partner ministry, MERATH, for providing around 200 meals a day for INSAAF to distribute to our MWDs.
