This Mother’s Day and Eid, we recognize the strength of mothers like Zainab across #Lebanon.
As displacement surpasses one million people, many families have been forced to flee their homes. Instead of gathering to celebrate, many people are spending Eid in shelters or away from loved ones.
Mothers are holding their families together through uncertainty while humanitarian needs continue to surge. @WFP is scaling up lifesaving food and cash assistance, but urgent support is needed to sustain the response.
