Purpose and goals of the report
This report examines the evolving information landscape in Lebanon since the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023 and its subsequent expansion into Lebanese territory. Through a comprehensive analysis of available documentation, we provide an assessment of information availability, critical gaps, and temporal patterns across humanitarian pillars and sectors based on the Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (JIAF).
Our methodology captures diverse information sources integrated through the GANNET Virtual Assistant tool’s API ecosystem. These sources include local and international media coverage, humanitarian assessment reports, situation updates from ReliefWeb, press releases from various stakeholders, official government statistics, and insights from informal discussions with select sectoral actors. This multi-source approach offers a holistic view of how the information environment has responded to the evolving crisis, highlighting both strengths in documentation and areas where critical information needs remain underserved.
By tracking documentation trends from October 2023 through March 2025, this analysis reveals how information priorities have shifted as the conflict has evolved from a peripheral concern to a direct humanitarian emergency, providing valuable insights for humanitarian coordination, resource allocation, and strategic planning efforts in Lebanon.

This report is part of the Lebanon project funded by the H2H Network and developed with the support of IMPACT Initiatives, which provided access to its assessment registry and collaborated with DFS throughout the process.
