Airlink’s first response in the Middle East and North Africa was in 2013, providing shelter supplies for Syrian refugees living in Lebanon. Since, Airlink has continued to respond to complex crises not only in Lebanon, but also in Jordan, Yemen, and Gaza—alleviating food insecurity and the collapse of healthcare services caused by instability, conflict, and displacement. Airlink also responds to natural disasters like earthquakes and floods throughout the region.

A critical component of Airlink’s response condition is the development of localized regional partnerships between Airlink, local airlines, and local disaster response organizations.
