IFAW rushes aid to Animals Lebanon

September 26, 2024

IFAW is supporting our partners in Lebanon, where people evacuating have been unable to bring their pets and farm animals, and local zoos and wildlife have also been impacted.

IFAW is providing support for:

• veterinary care for injured animals;
• rescue of endangered wildlife;
• transporting pets that were left behind;
• pet supplies such as food, cages, and medicine;
• temporary boarding; distribution of food for homeless animals;
• administering medications;
• and helping people evacuate safely with their companion animals.

Animals Lebanon is one of IFAW's long-standing partners. Their team is focused on supporting animals in their care, providing veterinary care for injuries, setting up temporary boarding, and helping facilitate owners evacuating with their pets and supplies.

IFAW is also in contact to support the Lebanese Association for Migratory Birds (LAMB) for animal rescue, sheltering abandoned animals and wildlife crime incidents. The LAMB team is currently taking on local cases and providing advice to others on the proper care of injured birds and other wild animals.

IFAW is dedicated to helping the people and animals impacted by this conflict and will remain in contact with local organisations to provide help where needed.
