Secure Donation
UNHCR | Help families forced to flee in Lebanon
Over 1.3 million people out of an estimated population of 5.7 million, have been forced to leave their homes, with many now living in shelters or with friends and family.
Winter is making things even harder. Many displaced families don’t have proper shelter or warm clothes, and heavy rain has made their situation worse. 
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, alongside local and international partners, is providing emergency relief, legal aid, and psychosocial support. Emergency supplies, such as blankets, winter clothes, and shelter materials have been distributed to 450,000 people, both to Lebanese citizens and refugees.
 
Even with the ceasefire, the challenges are far from over. Many displaced people started returning to their homes today, but they are coming back to towns and neighbourhoods that have been heavily damaged by airstrikes.
