The World Humanitarian Fund (WHF) announced its intent to offer basic rehabilitation services to displaced Syrians and Palestinians from Syria in Lebanon.
The six-month program is expected to last until December 31, 2018. It aims to enhance refugees’ health and socio-economic conditions.
The project, sponsored by the UN Emergency Response Fund, makes part of ongoing attempts to assist people with disabilities, including those who underwent limb-amputation or suffer from physical deformities. Those diagnosed with vision problems will be provided with medical sunglasses, walking sticks, and magnifying glasses. People with hearing impairments will receive hearing aids and orthophonic sessions.
According to UNRWA statistics, 31,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Lebanon, where they have been enduring dire conditions.
