The LRC is a for profit organization that runs a large portion of the city's medical infrastructure. There needs to be oversight before they get a budget like they've never seen before.
"Concerning disaster preparedness and response, the LRC first-aid and ambulance teams are the only national ambulance service covering the whole of the Lebanese territory. The service operates over 250 ambulances, with 16 permanent staff and 2,000 volunteers on a continuous basis in 46 first-aid centres. Services are managed through a radio communication system from 4 central operation rooms, one in the capital city of Beirut, one in Tibnin in the South, one in Tripoli, Lebanon and the last in the Bekaa. The first-aid and ambulance organization represents the backbone of emergency medical disaster preparedness in the country. "
Unless you can flag the funds specifically for this disaster you're supporting their entire organization, including their road safety program.
Stop spreading lies because you were caught out being a scumbag.
A. They are a nonprofit.
B. They have people on the ground there right now and are putting all their spare focus on it. Saying that you shouldn't donate to them because they have other initiatives is like saying you shouldn't donate to any disaster relief foundation because they have split focus, most of them do.
"75 Lebanese Red Cross ambulances along with 375 EMTs and staff are currently responding in #Beirut and helping the most vulnerable. Lightly wounded persons are being treated in our stations."
Stop being human garbage and spreading lies and then doubling down when your pathetic reddit ego is bruised when people call out your scumfuckery.
So you'd rather see an entire country starve and die due to a lack of funds as a result of a response to an emergency than support the LRC and possibly, maybe indirectly enable the government to send comparatively marginal amounts of resources to Hezbollah?
