In
response to the
humanitarian
catastrophe
unfolding in the
escalating conflict,
LAU has launched the
Emergency
Relief for
Lebanon campaign
to provide
education,
healthcare and above
all
hope to our
people.

The
LAU
Mobile
Clinics have
embarked
on
several relief
missions
that
offer
primary
care
services,
consultations,
screenings,
medications,
and
hygiene
and
first-aid
kits
to
the
displaced
nationwide.

Following
a
brief
interruption
in
the
first
few
days
of
the
conflict,
students
swiftly
resumed
classes
online
and
later
pivoted
to
a
hybrid
modality,
prioritizing
the
safety
of
those
unable
to
commute
to
campus.
They
were
also
offered
valuable
advice
on
how
to
cope
with
disruptions.
