They are destitute, frightened, shocked. Since August 2012, the Order of Malta’s Kahldieh socio-medical centre in north Lebanon has been inundated with refugees from Syria. To date, the centre has provided free medical treatment for more than 1,300 Syrian refugees. The service has expanded into nearby villages where refugees are living in deepest poverty.
More resources are desperately needed.

Refugee crisis: the Order of Malta has been active in Syria, Turkey and Lebanon since August 2012, providing emergency aid for more than 30,000 people.

About
The mission of the Order of Malta is inspired by its tradition of ‘Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum', to assist the poor and the sick, and bear witness to the Christian faith.
The Sovereign Order of Malta is a sovereign subject of international law. The Order - which is based in Rome, in via Condotti - has its own Government, an independent magistracy, and bilateral diplomatic relations with 110 countries.
The Order of St John of Jerusalem is one of the oldest institutions of Western and Christian civilisation. Present in Palestine in around 1048, it is a lay religious Order, traditionally of military, chivalrous, noble nature.
