A new Arabic version of the award-winning app ShareTheMeal has been launched to mark the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
The app allows users to feed a Syrian refugee child for a day at the touch of a button.
The World Food Programme(WFP) app invites users to donate as little as 50 cents at a time, to help feed hungry communities around the world.
The English and German versions of the app were launched in November 2015, and thus far 5.5 million meals have been donated by some 500,000 users.
The current campaign is aimed at feeding 1,400 Syrian refugee children between the ages of three and four in Beirut for a full year.
Earlier campaigns have fed schoolchildren in Lesotho, refugee children in Jordan and breastfeeding and expectant mothers in Homs, Syria.
