Overview
Armed confrontations have been occurring at the Southern Lebanese border since the 8 October 2023. As a consequence, families have fled their homes. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducts daily monitoring of population movements to inform preparedness and response planning. This work is carried out in partnership with the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Unit, technically supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to triangulate and mutually verify data from the IOM mobility tracking exercise and the household registration exercise conducted by the Lebanese Red Cross (LRC) through the Emergency Operation Rooms (EORs) at the Union of Municipality (UoM) level across the country.
Population numbers for collective shelters and registered individuals have been directly provided from the data collected at the level of the emergency operations rooms, supported by the LRC and the DRM Unit*.
