Urgent Appeal for Medications & Medical Supplies for Lebanon With Support From UNICEF

To meet the growing demands on the healthcare system in Lebanon in terms of urgently needed medications and medical supplies identified by the Ministry of Public Health of Lebanon, you can kindly help in two ways:

1. Financially, by supporting a fundraising campaign that the Consulate is launching through the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) USA. With your contributions, UNICEF and partners will procure and deliver medications and medical supplies to Lebanon. UNICEF has been working in Lebanon for over seven decades, providing life-saving support to children, protecting their rights and helping them achieve their potential. Your tax-deductible donation can be made on the following link: UNICEF Support for Lebanon.

2. Separately, donations in kind, by sending needed medications and medical supplies to a storage location in preparation for shipping them to Lebanon. The location was kindly provided by Cappelli New York on the following address: 3 Empire Blvd., South Hackensack, NJ 07696. The items can be dropped off at the location on weekdays anytime between 9am and 6pm. They can also be shipped to the location at any time. For any needed assistance you can reach out to Mr. Imad Hassan on (917)754-8666.
