Background

Anera’s last Situation Report (December 2024) summarizes information about the situation in the immediate aftermath of the ceasefire announcement, amid ongoing tensions and hostilities.

Overview

Following the ceasefire announcement on November 27, 2024, a majority of displaced people returned to their areas of origin. However, returnees are grappling with significant challenges, such as ongoing insecurity, unexploded ordnance, disrupted public services, and access restrictions in more than 70 localities in southern Lebanon. At least 12 people have been killed in attacks since the ceasefire, with strikes continuing to affect parts of Baalbek-Hermel, Bekaa, Nabatieh, and South governorates. Many returning families are still internally displaced, as their homes have been destroyed or damaged, though they have relocated closer to their communities. Preliminary assessments indicate significant building destruction and extensive water, power, and health infrastructure damage.
