Two blasts in the capital of Beirut killed over 100 people and left thousands more injured
.

As the people of Beirut grapple with the fallout from two deadly blasts Tuesday, Canadians thousands of miles away might be wondering what they can do to help.
Canada’s Lebanese community is mobilizing to raise donations, specifically for the Lebanese Red Cross. The non-governmental organization is the main provider of ambulances in the country and its network for first-responders are mostly volunteers.
The tragedy marks a tough chapter for Lebanon as hospitals there were already dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, plus there are rising food prices due to inflation and the country has a government mired with corruption allegations.
For more on other local nonprofits are open to donations, check out the video above.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL MATCH YOUR $ DONATION TILL THE END OF THE MONTH!!!
GO TO UNICEF OR RED CROSS
