The IRC in Lebanon

November 2006 The International Rescue Committees’s Emergency Response Team has concluded a three-month relief effort in Lebanon that provided urgent assistance to thousands of people affected by recent fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. After a ceasefire was announced in August, the IRC’s plan to aid displaced people in Beirut evolved into a program to help Lebanese returnees in bombarded southern villages.

 

  

The IRC is replacing water tanks and generators in the village of Kfar Shuba. It’s part of a project to improve water supply and hygiene for some 5,000 people over the next two months.
