Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan

Over 3 million Palestinian refugees call Lebanon and Jordan home—living without citizenship, often in overcrowded camps where even daily essentials are a luxury. In Lebanon, 12 UNRWA‑recognised camps hold over 448,000 registered refugees, tens of thousands squeezed into dense urban slums like Ain al‑Hilweh (approximately 120,000 today) and Bourj el‑Barajneh (58,000).

In Jordan, more than 2 million Palestinian refugees are registered, with 10 camps, including massive sites like Baqa’a ( around 100,000 residents) and Marka (around 45,000), offering only the bare minimum.

Yet, only about one-third of registered refugees in Jordan and Lebanon live within these camps; many more are scattered in poor urban areas, unseen and underserved.

We’ve been providing humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan since for many years and continue to do so on a regular basis. With your generous donations, we are able to provide refugees with the basic necessities to make everyday life in a precarious situation more bearable.

The need for assistance continues, something we can only achieve with you. For as little as £25, you can transform the life of a young mother and her child with the provision of baby milk formula. A simple food pack costs just £75 and will feed a family for a month. £100 will help with vital medical care, and £500 will give a refugee family shelter from the elements.

This may not seem a lot to us, but for the refugees, it means the world.

Throughout the year, our UK delivery team - along with UK based volunteers taking part in our international deployment programmes - fly out to Lebanon and Jordan to see first hand what is needed by the Palestinian refugees, look at how best we can help them, and deliver the aid personally. For many taking part in our deployment programmes, it's a chance to see up close how their fundraising activity provides life changing aid, touching so many.

Support those who need it most all year round.
