Contexte :
The collapse of the economic system has led to record inflation: it is one of the worst global crises since the mid-19th century, according to the World Bank. The exhausted population is lacking everything: money, food, electricity, and medicine. In September 2024, Israeli strikes worsened an already dire situation. Thousands of people continue to flee their homes, and hundreds have lost their lives.
Lebanon’s humanitarian situation remains dire, with hundreds of thousands of conflict-affected individuals facing critical needs and ongoing challenges that require both immediate and long-term assistance. Displacement dynamics continue to evolve, with thousands of households grappling with complex hardships as they seek stability in the aftermath of the conflict and amid persistent violations of the cessation of hostilities.
Cross-border movements have persisted throughout the period. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), national authorities in Lebanon estimate that by 20 December, around 90,000 individuals had arrived in the Hermel area of Baalbek-El Hermel governorate, including 20,000 Lebanese nationals. Among these, 39,321 individuals, mostly Syrians, are residing in 175 collective shelters.
