Challenge

Lebanese authorities estimate that the number of displaced people now surpasses one million, with tens of thousands staying in overcrowded collective shelters, schools, or in informal sites. A ground invasion will only compound the deteriorating humanitarian situation across the country, creating further waves of displacement to areas already struggling to cope, and putting at grave risk the lives of civilians who are unable to leave conflict-affected areas.

Solution

Cash assistance for protection or survival. For housing, food, or essential services, small sums of cash assistance can reduce reliance on shelters. Flexible cash support empowers people to prioritize and meet quickly their highest needs and enhances their safety in a rapidly evolving crisis. Essential food support in safe spaces. We conduct or support programs that allow families to gather and share meals, promoting emotional support and community connections during times of crisis.
