The "Solidarity Alliance for Well-being" initiative deployed resources across four key locations within the affected parish.

Tanais Wehbe, president of Ciec's Social Development Commission, highlighted the significance of joint efforts during crises. "These collaborations demonstrate that when the private sector unites with a community vision, the positive impact transcends the material to restore hope and a sense of security to our populations," she stated.

The aid program included a breakfast service for 50 children at the Santa Ana Church, accompanied by recreational activities. Simultaneously, a conference on managing post-traumatic stress was held at the House of Culture, alongside a workshop on psychological first aid.
