Background
More than 12 years since the start of the conflict in Syria, Lebanon remains at the forefront of one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time. The country hosts an estimated 1.5 million displaced Syrians who have fled the conflict in Syria, along with 180,000 Palestine Refugees in Lebanon (PRL) and 31,400 Palestinian Refugees from Syria (PRS). These populations live across all governorates in Lebanon.
Since 2019, Lebanon has simultaneously faced an unprecedented and multifaceted economic, financial, social and health crisis.
Vulnerable populations supported under the LCRP have been deeply affected by a sharp increase in socio-economic needs, gaps in critical supply chains and limitations on access to food, healthcare, education, employment and other basic services, while at the same time facing depreciation of the Lebanese Pound high inflation rates. Deteriorated protection space and increased social tension further hinder the ability of refugees to access vital services.
Since 2015, Lebanon has received over $9.3 billion in support for displaced Syrians, vulnerable Lebanese, Palestinian refugees, and public institutions under the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP).
Scope & Overview
The LCRP is an integrated humanitarian and stabilization response plan co-led by the Government of Lebanon and the United Nations, through which partners come together to seek to meet needs across vulnerable populations and respond to the ongoing impact of the Syria crisis on Lebanon’s population, economy and institutions. Interventions under the plan are made possible through donor contributions and are implemented by humanitarian organizations, the government, and development partners.
The LCRP aims to provide support across all sectors, prevent further deterioration of living conditions, and particularly assist the most vulnerable groups.
