Storm 'Alexa' arrived in Lebanon on Tuesday bringing strong winds, rain and snow, to the west Bekaa Valley and to villages along the Syrian-Lebanese border leaving hundreds of refugees, living is tents and makeshift shelters struggling to stay warm and dry.
Some 125,000 refugees living in the Bekaa have received winter kits and 55,000 more will be reached in the coming days. Humanitarian agencies working throughout Lebanon have distributed 255,000 blankets and more than 6,000 stoves in the past months. Some 45,000 ATM cards (each holding US$150 in value) have also been given to vulnerable families to buy additional stoves and fuel.
