Barakah Charity in Lebanon — July 2026
In July 2026, our managing director Mohamad Ajami travelled through Lebanon. The programme included talks with representatives of the Lebanese government, accompanying an aid convoy, and visits to three Palestinian refugee camps. He returned with two concrete projects — and confirmation that the need for housing remains immense.
At the Grand Serail, the seat of government in Beirut, Mohamad Ajami met the Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. Before taking office in 2025, Salam served as a judge and, most recently, President of the International Court of Justice in The Hague — the highest court of the United Nations. The conversation focused on Barakah Charity’s work in Lebanon — supporting refugees, displaced people and the Lebanese population as a whole.
The Prime Minister thanked the team for the help provided. They discussed the latest aid convoy, the houses that Barakah Charity builds for homeless families, and several new projects in the country.
“We work worldwide — and we will not forget the people of Lebanon. That applies to the Lebanese population just as much as to Palestinian and Syrian refugees.” — Mohamad Ajami, Managing Director of Barakah Charity
Barakah Charity will continue to work with the relevant authorities so that help reaches those who need it. Major General Mohammad al-Mustafa, Secretary-General of the Supreme Defence Council, also took part in the meeting.
The latest aid convoy to Lebanon was made possible with support from Jordan. At the border, the Jordanian ambassador to Lebanon, Walid Al-Hadid, welcomed the team and thanked them for the aid being brought into the country this way. Mohamad Ajami then visited him for a separate meeting.
Convoys like this are crucial for supplies: they bring relief goods to where families need them most.
In the following days, the Barakah Charity team visited three Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. There, it becomes clear what is missing in everyday life — above all in medical care.
Afterwards, the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Lebanon, Dr Mohammad al-Asaad, received the team. He thanked them for their work in the camps and likewise for the help Barakah Charity provides in Gaza and the West Bank.
Barakah Charity supports an operating room at a hospital in Lebanon. In future, it will treat children who otherwise have no access to good medical care — children from Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon itself.
For many families, this is the difference between an operation that happens and one that is postponed again and again.
One topic came up again and again in the talks: dialysis. In this treatment, the blood is cleaned by a machine when the kidneys can no longer do so — without it, those affected cannot survive, and they need it several times a week.
That is exactly where the hardship lies: anyone in Lebanon who depends on it currently has to travel for hours. Not once, but again and again. For sick people, this is barely manageable — physically, and financially even less so.
That is why Barakah Charity has committed to working towards installing a dialysis machine at a hospital in Lebanon. This would bring treatment within reach for the people of the region.
In Lebanon, we are already active with mobile clinics that treat chronically ill people in the refugee camps and provide medication free of charge. The dialysis unit would be the next step: from treatment in the camp to care that can also handle serious cases.
We are collecting donations for this, inshaAllah.
Alongside medical care, housing remains the most pressing issue. Many families in Lebanon have no permanent roof over their heads — and the need remains immense.
One house: €2,500. With it, a family gets a place where they can stay: protected from cold and rain, with a door that closes.
Every donation for our work in Lebanon goes into projects just like these: medical care, houses for families without a home, and the aid convoys that regularly enter the country. Donate for Lebanon now.
