Khalsa Aid met with around 50 municipality representatives and visited three shelters in Lebanon to understand the urgent needs of displaced families. The visit also included activities for more than 135 displaced children across schools and shelters.
Khalsa Aid is continuing its humanitarian response in Lebanon as displaced families face increasingly difficult conditions in shelters and temporary accommodation across the country.
On 2 April 2026, Khalsa Aid Founder and CEO Ravi Singh met with around 50 municipality representatives in Lebanon to assess urgent humanitarian needs and understand the scale of displacement on the ground. The discussions identified food parcels, hygiene and dignity kits, financial support and essential items such as blankets, pillows and mattresses as the most pressing priorities for families currently living in shelters.

The visit included trips to three shelters where the team witnessed firsthand the conditions facing displaced families. Overcrowding, limited sanitation and a shortage of basic supplies remain serious concerns. The shelter visits are directly informing the next phase of Khalsa Aid's response, ensuring that future distributions address the gaps that matter most to the people living through this crisis.
Alongside the assessments, Khalsa Aid met with local partners including MAAN NGO and DCR NGO to strengthen coordination and ensure support reaches the most vulnerable communities. Building on existing local relationships is central to how Khalsa Aid operates, allowing the organisation to move quickly and distribute aid where it is genuinely needed rather than where it is easiest to reach.
The visit also focused on the needs of displaced children. Khalsa Aid organised activities for more than 85 children in schools and shelters, including a magic show, a candy stand and popcorn. A separate shelter activity reached around 50 children, continuing the organisation's commitment to psychosocial support for young people living through fear and instability. For children displaced by conflict, moments of comfort and routine carry real weight.
Ravi Singh also met with members of the local community and connected with suppliers to help secure food provisions for the next three months, as Khalsa Aid works to move beyond emergency response towards sustained support for displaced families in Lebanon.
The scale of need across Lebanon remains significant. Khalsa Aid is committed to standing with displaced communities and responding with practical, compassionate support for as long as it is needed.
