Lebanon Crisis Response

The escalating conflict in Lebanon is forcing families to desperately seek safety. With the conflict crisis spreading from the South to Beirut, Bekaa and beyond, 1.7 million children living in Lebanon face death, injury, and forced displacement. Schools have closed, and are being repurposed into temporary shelters for thousands of internally displaced people. More than 2,000 people have been killed including children and women. Over 6,000 have been injured and over a million people have been displaced. There are children, who are going up to 24 hours without food, pregnant women sleeping on floors without a mattress or blanket in the cold weather, and nursing mothers so hungry that they cannot produce milk for their babies.   

World Vision is on the ground and responding to the emergency needs of the most vulnerable children and families in Lebanon, providing essential aid to children and families.

World Vision has been supporting children and families in Lebanon for over 45 years. We are adapting and scaling up our emergency response as the situation evolves, targeting areas of greatest need and maintaining a focus on children.
