APPEAL HIGHLIGHTS

 * Hostilities on the Lebanon-Israel border escalated sharply in September 2024,
   leading to the deadliest period of the conflict with more than 1,600 deaths,
   including 104 children, 194 women and two UN staff, and over 8,408 injured. 
 * The escalation has led to mass displacement. On 29 September 2024, Lebanon’s
   Prime Minister announced that collective shelters were being set up to
   accommodate one million internally displaced people (IDPs). More than 346,000
   IDPs, including 121,000 children, were counted by 30 September 2024,
   according to IOM. More than 100,000 Lebanese and Syrians have fled Lebanon
   for Syria according to UNHCR. 
 * The catastrophic escalation in hostilities comes against a backdrop of a
   multi-layered governance, economic and financial crisis. Lebanon continues to
   host 1.5 million Syrian refugees, 23,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria, and
   180,000 Palestinian refugees. 
 * UNICEF is appealing for US$ 105.3 million to deliver a large-scale emergency
   response that prioritizes WASH, child protection and cash, alongside
   education and health.

COUNTRY NEEDS AND STRATEGY

HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

The escalation since 16 September 2024 has led to a surge in mass displacement
across Lebanon. Lebanon’s Prime Minister announced that collective shelters were
being set up to accommodate up to one million IDPs. More than 346,000 internally
displaced people (IDPs), including 121,000 children, were counted by September
2024, according to IOM (DTM round 48). More than 100,000 Lebanese and Syrians
fled Lebanon for Syria according to UNHCR. 

Lebanese authorities have opened more than 800 collective shelters, which were
hosting over 140,000 IDPs by September 2024, according to the Disaster Risk
Management Unit. 

The majority of shelters is located in public schools, and educational
institutions across the country are closed for learning, following the
postponement of the new school year and temporary suspension of classes by the
Ministry of Education. Damage to public infrastructure has been reported,
including more than 25 water facilities damaged since October 2023, affecting
the water supply for over 360,000 people. Nearly 30 primary health care centres
(PHCCs) were closed by September 2024 due to security risks. 

On 28 September 2024, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon activated the
Humanitarian Country Team’s (HCT) planning scenario of an uncontrolled conflict
affecting 1 million people.

The escalation has further compounded the economic and financial crisis that
pushed 44 per cent of the population in Lebanon into poverty, according to the
World Bank. Updates on the humanitarian situation in Lebanon are available on
UNICEF’s reports accessible here. 

The psychological toll on all displaced people, and especially women and
children, is profound. Many have been displaced multiple times, compounding
trauma from exposure to violence and the stress of living in overcrowded and
unsafe conditions. UNICEF has been providing psychosocial support to women and
children, focusing on resilience-building and trauma recovery, as well as
dignity kits, lifesaving GBV services, and violence prevention initiatives since
the start of hostilities in October 2024. UNICEF's overall support package seeks
to create a safer environment for women and girls in a very challenging and
dangerous environment.

UNICEF’S STRATEGY

UNICEF has adapted its programmatic response to focus on the urgent needs of
IDPs in transit locations, while addressing pre-existing vulnerabilities, in
order to mitigate social tensions related to short and long-term secondary
displacement. The response prioritizes WASH, child protection and cash, while
delivering a multi-sectoral package addressing education, health, nutrition and
youth's humanitarian needs. 

UNICEF is scaling up its on-the-ground presence, including the rapid
mobilization of capacities in displacement hotspots and expanding partnerships
with actors able to reach high-risk zones. 

UNICEF is expanding its pre-existing programmes delivered through public and
private schools, multi-service community centers, specialized child protection
service centers, operational support to water establishments and wastewater
treatment plants, primary healthcare centers and hospitals across the country,
to support IDPs living in host communities. UNICEF is balancing support to IDPs
through its regular programmes with outreach to those remaining in stranded
areas. UNICEF’s Palestinian Programme will continue supporting vulnerable
children and families living in Palestinian camps in Lebanon. 

A Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) will serve as a critical, agile, and timely
response framework to address sudden population movements, including displaced
or returning IDP children, families, and host communities. It will provide
essential lifesaving supplies coupled with measures on Accountability to
Affected Populations (AAP) and Risk Communication and Community Engagement. 

UNICEF’s response strategy includes the following components: 

 * Expand channels for IDPs and host communities to provide programming input
   and feedback in a timely and dignified manner per AAP standards.
 * Strengthen localized and multisectoral operations with the government at
   national and subnational levels, including disaster risk reduction (DRR) and
   disaster risk management (DRM) Units. Support governorates' emergency
   preparedness and response planning. 
 * Enhance gender-responsive and disability-inclusive programming, targeting
   affected populations regardless of nationality, balancing
   humanitarian-development needs, following a ‘do no harm’ approach.
 * Mainstream prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse and mobilize trusted
   community leaders to disseminate accurate information on available services
   and conduct by response workers. 
 * Enhance UNICEF’s regular programmes to ensure they are shock-responsiveness
   by prepositioning emergency supplies and diversifying operational modalities
   to deliver services and goods.
 * Integrate solar equipment and solar repair services in response activities to
   ensure energy supply for the continued provision of essential services. 

UNICEF’s humanitarian strategy is aligned with Inter-Agency humanitarian sector
priorities. UNICEF co-leads the WASH, education, nutrition, and child protection
(sub) sectors, and participates in the health, basic assistance, livelihoods,
and protection sectors, including the GBV Working Group.
