OVERVIEW
Within the overall funding requirement of $545.2 million for its operations in Lebanon, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, urgently seeks $111 million in flexible funding to scale up its emergency response for displaced communities in Lebanon through the end of the year.
A significant escalation of conflict in September 2024 has now affected an estimated one million people across the country, according to the Government of Lebanon.
Some 540,000 people are internally displaced in Lebanon, with over 165,000 in the past week only. An estimated 185,000 people – both Syrians and Lebanese, alongside other nationalities – have crossed into the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria) so far. People are still on the move and these numbers continue to rise.
