The war in summer 2006 resulted in an
overwhelming humanitarian crisis. The conflict
killed over 1,100 people (40% of the casualties
were children), destroyed 15,000 homes,
inflicted billions of dollars worth of damage on
infrastructure and left more than one million
people homeless.
In order to help with humanitarian crisis, SEAL
obtained the New York Attorney General´s
approval to amend its charter and therefore
added humanitarian relief to the existing
mission statement.
