The Government of Canada has just announced that donations will be MATCHED in support of relief efforts in Lebanon.

As a member of the Humanitarian Coalition, all donations made through Islamic Relief Canada between September 24 – November 3 are being matched up to $3 million, helping us reach even more people in need.

What is the Humanitarian Coalition? The Humanitarian Coalition brings together 12 of Canada’s leading aid organizations to provide Canadians with a simple and effective way to help during international humanitarian disasters.

Through this joint effort, we aim to amplify our impact on the ground.

With over 200,000 people displaced in Lebanon and 2,000 killed at the hands of deadly Israeli airstrikes and aggression, the situation is catastrophic and we need your support now more than ever.

Your donations are crucial. You can help ease the suffering of the people of Lebanon by donating towards Islamic Relief’s life-saving work today.

$80 can provide hygiene and basic essentials
$150 can provide food for a family for a month
$250 can help provide health and shelter support

Take action for Lebanon now and help us reach double the families in need. What we do now together can make a huge difference.
