How Your Qurbani Helps in Lebanon
Lebanon: Economic Collapse and Refugee Crisis
Lebanon's economic collapse, which began in 2019, has been described by the World Bank as one of the worst financial crises globally since the mid-19th century. The Lebanese pound has lost over 98% of its value. Over 80% of the population now lives below the poverty line. Banks have frozen deposits, wiping out the savings of millions of families overnight.
Compounding the economic crisis, Lebanon hosts approximately 1.5 million Syrian refugees - the highest per capita refugee population in the world. The 2020 Beirut port explosion killed 220 people, injured thousands, and destroyed entire neighbourhoods. Lebanon's political system has been unable to form a functioning government or implement reforms.
The impact on daily life is severe: rolling power blackouts of 20+ hours per day, fuel shortages, medicine shortages, and hyperinflation that has made basic food unaffordable. Families that were solidly middle-class in 2019 now cannot afford bread. For Syrian refugees with no legal work rights, the situation is even more desperate.
Qurbani Operations
At £160 for sheep/goat and £2,000 for cow, our Lebanese team operates in Tripoli, the Bekaa Valley, Sidon, and Beirut's southern suburbs. Despite the economic chaos, established livestock markets continue to function. Animals are sourced from the Bekaa Valley's farming communities, and every sacrifice is Shariah-compliant.
Distribution Priorities
- Syrian refugee families in informal settlements across the Bekaa Valley
- Impoverished Lebanese families affected by the economic collapse
- Palestinian refugees in camps like Bourj el-Barajneh and Ein el-Hilweh
- Families affected by the Beirut explosion still living in damaged homes
- Elderly Lebanese whose life savings were wiped out by the banking crisis
Lebanon's Eid al-Adha traditions are deeply cherished, particularly in the predominantly Muslim cities of Tripoli and Sidon. For families experiencing their sixth year of economic freefall, your Qurbani provides not just nutrition but a moment of normalcy - a reminder that life still holds moments of beauty and celebration.

Our local teams maintain beneficiary registers compiled through community engagement, and every family is assessed for need before being added to the distribution list.

Lebanon hosts approximately 1.5 million Syrian refugees, alongside long-established Palestinian refugee communities and a Lebanese population whose own economy has collapsed. Since 2019, the Lebanese pound has lost over 98 percent of its value. Banks have frozen savings. Salaries that were once middle-class now cover little more than bread and fuel.
For a Syrian refugee family in the Bekaa Valley, your Qurbani is one of very few times in the year they will see fresh lamb. For a Lebanese family in Tripoli or south Lebanon, the same is increasingly true.
Muslims In Need distributes across the Bekaa Valley, Tripoli, Akkar, south Lebanon and Beirut's most vulnerable suburbs. Distribution prioritises Syrian refugees, Palestinian refugees in camps, and Lebanese families pushed below the poverty line by the economic collapse.
How your Qurbani is performed in Lebanon
Animals are sourced from local Lebanese livestock markets, supporting Lebanese farming families whose income has been crushed by the currency crisis. Every animal meets the Shariah requirements: minimum one year for sheep and goats, two years for cows, free of disqualifying defects.
Slaughter is performed by a trained Muslim butcher facing the qiblah with the recitation of "Bismillah, Allahu Akbar" on your behalf. Meat is packaged and distributed Hand to Hand to pre-verified families.

Why Qurbani in Lebanon serves two communities at once
Your Qurbani in Lebanon is unique in our network because it almost always reaches both Syrian refugees and Lebanese host families. The economic crisis has erased the line between refugee and host poverty. A Lebanese widow in Tripoli is often as food-insecure as a Syrian refugee in the Bekaa.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He is not a believer who eats his fill while his neighbour goes hungry." (Bukhari, al-Adab al-Mufrad) In Lebanon, the neighbour is everyone.
Frequently asked questions: Qurbani in Lebanon
Are Syrian refugees included in Lebanon distributions? Yes. Syrian refugees are among our primary beneficiaries. Distribution covers Syrian refugees in informal tented settlements across the Bekaa Valley and other regions, alongside Palestinian refugee camps and vulnerable Lebanese families.
Why is Qurbani in Lebanon more expensive than in Yemen or Sudan? Local Lebanese livestock pricing is higher than in pastoralist economies. The cost reflects the Lebanese livestock market, not lower efficiency on our side.
Can I dedicate my Qurbani in Lebanon for a deceased loved one? Yes. Most scholars permit Qurbani on behalf of deceased Muslims. Add their name at checkout.
Will I receive evidence that my Qurbani in Lebanon was performed? Yes. Country-level photo feedback is sent after Eid via email or WhatsApp.
