Lebanon’s protracted economic collapse has eroded purchasing power, driven up prices for food, medicines, and fuel, and left public services on the brink. Rolling power cuts disrupt water pumping, refrigeration, and clinic operations, while shortages of essential drugs and diagnostics push routine health needs into emergencies.
Municipalities and refugee-hosting communities are stretched thin, with households facing rent arrears, rising debt, and crowded, substandard housing. Protection risks are increasing—particularly for children, older adults, and people with disabilities—as families resort to negative coping strategies to cover basic needs.
The response must stabilize households quickly while reinforcing essential services and local markets through coordinated, multi-sector support delivered safely and accountably.
Protection and community services: Strengthen case management, child protection and GBV referral pathways, psychosocial support, and community helpdesks to ensure safe, dignified access to assistance.
Targeting, delivery, and monitoring: Use transparent vulnerability criteria, scheduled distributions, digital verification, and post-distribution monitoring and feedback channels to adapt programming and close gaps quickly.
On September 23, 2024, a large-scale military operation was launched on Lebanon. This escalation has caused large-scale damage in property and significant loss of life. This has in turn, triggered a mass displacement. The project aims to provide emergency response and meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable families affected by an escalation in Lebanon by providing life-saving aid and primary health care services.
Project Activities

● Distribution of 1,000 cooked meals to targeted families in Lebanon
● Distribution of 400 mattresses & 400 pillows to targeted families in Lebanon
● Distribution of 200 hygiene kits to targeted families in Lebanon
