London-based Lebanese non-profit at forefront of Beirut fundraisingLONDON: As soon as the haunting images of the immense orange cloud filling Beirut’s late-afternoon sky and the terrifying videos of the explosion began circulating, UK-based non-profit Impact Lebanon took the initiative. “We’re raising the funds, primarily from the diaspora and the international community in order to help support the work of the local NGOs on the ground,” Impact Lebanon co-founder Diana Abbas told Arab News. The London-based organization was first born out of the Lebanese October Revolution of last year. “It’s important from the diaspora to donate because we’re away from a lot of the stresses that people on the ground are feeling. please support / donate if you’re able to, i will be doing so too.
