After Beirut blasts occurred on the 4th of August 20, Jafra immediately got ready to participate the efforts to remove rubbles from streets, community buildings and individual properties. A bit under-equipped at first, Jafra, thanks to the immediate international mobilization and the financial help got through GlobalGiving, was able to gather the necessary tools and skills to respond to the most urgent material needs.
In addition to the necessary stock of masks and safety equipments against COVID-19, Jafra teams rented transportations to get to the affected neighborhoods, we rented trucks for debris removal and debris transportation to landfills. Furthermore, toolkits were provided to the volunteers such as gloves, brooms and scoops but also to professionals to allow them handle the repair of doors and windows.
An approximate number of 2000 inhabitants benefited from Jafra's help regarding the debris an dust removals. 15 households could benefit from doors and windows fixing. A lot is still to be done. Many households are still awaiting to recover a safe home environment; doors, windows, roofs are still missing in a still injured Beirut!
