The World Lebanese Cultural Union’s tour in the South of Lebanon to Support War-Affected Families

As part of its ongoing support for families affected by the recent war, a delegation from the World Lebanese Cultural Union conducted a field tour in southern Lebanon, providing in-kind assistance to those in need.
The delegation included the WLCU World President, Roger Hani, Secretary-General Georges Abi Raad, his Deputy Christian Nasr, the Head of Humanitarian and Social Projects in Lebanon, Manal Dhibian, and the President’s Advisor, Dr. Elie Akouri.
The tour covered several towns and villages, including Ain Ebel, Rmeish, and Al-Qawzah, where heating fuel vouchers were distributed to 80 families. The delegation also visited the town of Debel, where the WLCU contributed to a project supplying its artesian well with solar energy, and Ain Al-Delb, where solar-powered lighting equipment was provided for the main road.
During the crisis, the WLCU also distributed food aid and cleaning supplies to families displaced from Qlaway, Bistiyat (South Lebanon), and Hizzin (Baalbek District, Bekaa) to various areas such as Chouf, Aley, Beirut, Metn, Haret Sakher – Jounieh (Public School), and Tripoli. Additionally, heating fuel was secured for families in Snnayya and Bislaya and for the electricity generator of the Al-Ayshiya dispensary.
In every town they visited, the delegation conveyed the WLCU greetings, recognizing the resilience of the people and expressing hope for the return of peace, security, and political stability to Lebanon.
In a humanitarian gesture, the WLCU donated a sterilization device for surgical tools used in treating bites to the Elderly Care Home in Baabda District.
These relief efforts were made possible through a fundraising campaign launched by the WLCU during the recent war, which received extensive support from its members in Cyprus, Denmark, France, Colombia, Chile, the United States (Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Jersey, and New York), Australia, as well as the WLCU team in Lebanon.
