Lebanon emergency. Hope4Lebanon

The humanitarian situation in Lebanon is catastrophic, with 1.3 million displaced people. More and more families are in need of assistance and basic necessities such as mattresses, blankets, hygiene kits, water.

Since the end of September 2024, the conflict in Lebanon has escalated, particularly in the south in the Bekaa Valley and the southern suburbs of Beirut. Displaced people from the south have poured into the capital and thousands of families are in need of immediate assistance.

The conflict continues to intensify and expand geographically, attacks are also taking place in “so-called safe” areas further north. In Beirut the bombings continue, buildings are razed to the ground in an instant. But inside those buildings there are people, many innocent people.

There are over 1.3 million displaced people, but there are fears that this number will grow further.

There are over 800 shelters set up to accommodate those who no longer have a home, but they are not enough to accommodate everyone.

Many families remain in the hardest-hit areas along the southern border. They are now isolated, with limited services and financial resources.

Hospitals and health centers are struggling to cope with the continuous influx of patients and are unable to provide essential services to the population.

Schools are closed across the country: tens of thousands of children have been suffering from continuous interruptions in their education for five years now.

Since the start of the campaign, AVSI has already guaranteed primary assistance to more than 16 thousand people in 5 governorates, reaching 152 shelters.
