Support Families of Brave Rescue Workers

Support the Families of Fallen Heroes: Lebanese Civil Defence Rescue Workers

On November 14, 2024, tragedy struck in Baalbek, Lebanon, as an Israeli airstrike targeted the Central Civil Defence station, claiming the lives of 15 courageous rescue workers. These heroes dedicated their lives to saving others, often risking their own safety in the face of immense danger. Today, we come together to honor their memory and support their grieving families.

The Heroes We Lost

These brave men were not just rescue workers; they were fathers, husbands, and pillars of their communities. They leave behind families who now face an uncertain future:

Omar Solh, 45, survived by his wife and two children.

Abdel Karim Noun, 54, survived by his wife and six children.

Hussein Mohamad, 50, survived by his wife and six children.

Ali Noun, 52, survived by his wife and three children.

Bilal Raad, 58, survived by his wife and one daughter.

Hassan Wahood, 55, survived by his wife and four children.

Among them was Omar Solh, whose story exemplifies the courage and dedication of these men. Omar, a devoted father and friend, served tirelessly with the Lebanese Civil Defence, bringing light and hope to others even during the darkest times. His final act of bravery—rescuing victims of an airstrike—speaks volumes of his selflessness and commitment.
