Explosion that Rocked Beirut on August 4, 2020

On August 4, 2020, Beirut was rocked by an explosion that has killed over 150 people and has injured at least 3,000 and counting. We feel it is our duty as sons and daughters of Lebanon to attempt to provide aid and relief to those who can best administer it to the people affected by this calamity. This monetary aid will be directly donated to the American University of Beirut Medical Center to provide for supplies and other needs that may befall the institution. We seek to alleviate the issues that could arise as a result of the massive influx of wounded.
