Lebanon: Emergency Relief to the displaced population
Since 20 September, Lebanon has been experiencing the effects of a dramatic escalation of the war between Israel and Hezbollah. This wave of violence is taking its toll on Lebanese civilians with over 100.000 newly displaced people in just a few days.
Our teams are working right now to bring urgent aid to the population in distress.
We support collective shelters in Mount Lebanon and the Bekaa to make them suitable for displaced people. We are distributing hygiene kits to displaced Lebanese in the Bekaa, and giving cash support to those who have lost everything to meet their immediate needs. We provide psychosocial support, particularly to women and children, to face the trauma and the challenges of this situation.
We are also monitoring the needs of the Syrian refugee population currently displaced in the streets or who decided to stay behind in currently unsafe areas, and we are continuing to remotely support the most vulnerable cases we were following in Tyre before the security situation in the country deteriorated.
