Overview

  • While the ceasefire extension is ongoing, the situation remains fragile and contested, with sustained hostilities and insecurity particularly affecting South Lebanon and parts of Nabatieh and the Bekaa governorates. Daily reports of demolitions, airstrikes, overflights, and evacuation warnings continue across South Lebanon, driving renewed displacement risk. Israeli evacuation warnings have now expanded to 54 Lebanese villages, bringing the total number of affected localities to 110, including 55 villages below the so-called ‘Yellow Line’, underscoring the continued volatility of the operating environment in the south.
  • Government‑led “Kulluna Lil Watan” campaign: In line with the Government of Lebanon’s leadership of the Lebanon Response Plan and the emergency response, the Ministry of Social Affairs has launched the national campaign “Kulluna Lil Watan” (“All of us, for the homeland”), aimed at establishing a unified national identity for assistance delivered under the leadership of the Lebanese state, its donors, and its UN and NGO partners. Humanitarian partners have been requested to brand assistance under the campaign.
