Key Points
- A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon came into effect at midnight on 16 April. On 23 April, US President Donald Trump announced that the ceasefire would be extended for an additional three weeks, following a second high-level trilateral meeting between representatives of Israel, the United States and Lebanon.
- Following the announcement of the ceasefire, both the Israeli military and Hezbollah called on displaced populations not to return immediately to areas south of the Litani River.
- The humanitarian situation in Lebanon remains fragile and unpredictable, with a continued risk of conflict escalation and military operations in the south of the country.
- UNRWA launched its emergency response in Lebanon on 4 March. As of 21 April, it operates two emergency shelters[1]: Siblin Training Centre (STC) in Saida Area and Battir School in Nahr el-Bared Camp in northern Lebanon.
- By 28 April, a total of 951 displaced people (274 families) were registered in the two UNRWA emergency shelters, reflecting a substantial decrease compared to 1,337 people recorded last week. This is mainly due to the extension of the ceasefire and subsequent population returns.
- Between 22 and 28 April, no security incidents affecting on-duty UNRWA personnel or facilities were reported.
