Impact Lebanon, a nonprofit, has set up a crowdfunding campaign to help organizations on the ground and is helping to share information about people still missing after the explosion. impactlebanon.org

More than 300,000 people in Beirut were displaced from their homes by the explosion. Baytna Baytak, a charity that provided free housing to health care workers during the coronavirus pandemic, is now raising funds with Impact Lebanon to shelter those who have been displaced.
