Highlights
- Lebanon continues to grapple with a multifaceted crisis in which ongoing hostilities, a large refugee population, climate change and the impact of economic collapse are all deepening child vulnerability. Conflict continues to impact children. Since November 2024, at least 9 children have been killed and 110 children injured. An estimated 1.12 million Syrian refugees are expected to remain in Lebanon in 2026, with up to 200,000 new arrivals expected due to instability inside the Syrian Arab Republic.
- UNICEF humanitarian and stabilization programming in Lebanon is aligned with the Lebanon Response Plan and targets vulnerable children and households through individual, community and systems interventions. In 2026, UNICEF will deliver humanitarian response and anticipatory action activities covering child protection, education, health, nutrition, social protection, WASH and youth and adolescent programming.
- For 2026, UNICEF appeals for US$376.8 million to deliver life-saving and resilience-building assistance in Lebanon, including access to formal and non-formal education, emergency water and sanitation services and health and nutrition services for children and women.
