Everyone at Caabu is devastated at the scenes from Beirut after the explosions. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Lebanese people. The international community including the UK should respond quickly and effectively to help the city and its people recover.

Here we have collated a few ways to help those impacted by the blast, including supporting organisations working on the ground, both local Lebanese and internationals NGOs. 

If there is something important we may have missed, then please do let us know.
