The exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah and other armed groups on the southern border of the country continues daily, affecting civilians<\/strong> on both sides. There are more than 100,000 internally displaced people<\/strong> in Lebanon as a result of the conflict.\u00a0The bombings are destroying homes, public infrastructure and polluting agricultural land. Existing vulnerabilities among the Lebanese and refugee population in the country have been exacerbated and displaced people often face poor access to food, basic necessities and health care.<\/strong> Many people have lost their jobs, others are living in insecure areas, separated from the rest of their families, to avoid losing their income. Also, people affected are paying a heavy toll in terms of mental health. INTERSOS has intervened since the first days of the crisis, assessing the protection needs of more than 5,000 displaced people<\/strong> and providing an immediate response<\/a> through the distribution of essential goods, psychological and psychosocial support and case management of vulnerable people.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”632070″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”922106″]<\/p>\n

THE IMPACT OF THE CONFLICT IN LEBANON<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On 8 October 2023, daily exchanges of fire<\/strong> began between the Israel Forces and Hezbollah and other armed groups, within a 10 km radius from the southern Lebanese border, mainly in the districts of Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun, Hasbaya and Tyre. Since January 2024, shelling has extended further, involving the districts of Nabatieh and Jezzine. Currently, the most intense bombardment remains concentrated in areas within 12 km of the Blue Line, while targeted Israeli airstrikes extend far into the country.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The ongoing violence has not spared civilians, including women, children, volunteer rescue workers and media personnel. To date, 120 civilians have been killed<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent months, we are witnessing mass displacements of Lebanese and Syrian refugees<\/strong>\u00a0moving north to escape hostilities, mainly in Tyre, Saida and Beirut. To date, we are talking about some 102,523 displaced people<\/a><\/strong>. Approximately 60,000 people continue to live in conflict areas, exposed to daily shelling and without access to basic services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Families affected by insecurity have left their homes and moved to different districts in South Lebanon and Nabatieh or to other governorates in Lebanon, particularly Bekaa and Mount Lebanon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The shelling also destroyed houses, public infrastructure and agricultural land that caught fire in the impact of the ordnance. 72 public and private schools have been partially or totally closed, affecting access to education for 20,000 children<\/strong>. In areas most affected by the conflict, such as Marjayoun and Bint Jbeil, 6 health facilities were forced to close and the number of medical consultations in primary facilities is decreasing. Severe damage to water, electricity, and telecoms infrastructure as well as roads in southern Lebanon have been recorded, and maintenance and repair workers have been killed and injured as they attempt to maintain services for the area\u2019s remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

THE MAIN VULNERABILITIES AMONG DISPLACED PEOPLE<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the beginning of November to the end of December 2023, we assessed the protection needs of 5,527 displaced people<\/strong> in the governorates of South Lebanon and Nabatieh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Displacement in recent months has exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities<\/strong> among those affected and reduced their ability to secure basic needs and live in safety. Based on the results of the needs assessment conducted by our staff, as a result of the conflict 89% of households have limited or no ability to purchase food, 84% have limited or no ability to access hygiene kits, 70% have lost their ability to purchase basic necessities, 61% have lost their ability to purchase water, and 26% have lost their ability to cover the costs of chronic illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Access to essential services was also hampered by several factors related to the socio-economic and legal situation of displaced families. 71% stated that they had lost their jobs and livelihoods, 50% lacked information on services available in the areas they moved to, and 3% reported that they had lost access to their legal documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, having no alternative sources of income, many people chose to remain in risky areas<\/strong> or to move between safe and unsafe areas, in order to continue doing seasonal work, such as olive harvesting. To ensure the safety of their families without losing their livelihoods, several men chose to remain in the border areas, while their wives and children moved elsewhere, in effect separating the head of the family from the rest of the household.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”155351″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_color=”color-214091″ heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”196378″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]Assessed needs<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”6″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”198140″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_progress_bar values=”%5B%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20with%20limited%20or%20no%20ability%20to%20purchase%20food%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E89%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2289%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20with%20limited%20or%20no%20ability%20to%20access%20hygiene%20kits%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E84%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2284%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20who%20have%20lost%20the%20ability%20to%20purchase%20basic%20necessities%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E70%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2270%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20who%20have%20lost%20the%20ability%20to%20purchase%20water%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E61%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2261%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20who%20have%20lost%20the%20ability%20to%20cover%20costs%20related%20to%20chronic%20diseases%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E26%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2226%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%5D”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_progress_bar values=”%5B%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20who%20have%20lost%20their%20jobs%20and%20livelihoods%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E71%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2271%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20who%20had%20no%20information%20about%20available%20services%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E50%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2250%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Families%20who%20have%20lost%20access%20to%20their%20legal%20documents%3A%20%20%3Cstrong%3E3%25%3C%2Fstrong%3E%22%2C%22value%22%3A%223%22%2C%22bar_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22bar_color%22%3A%22color-214091%22%2C%22bar_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%2C%22back_color_type%22%3A%22uncode-palette%22%2C%22back_color_solid%22%3A%22%23ff0000%22%7D%5D”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”6″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”125699″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”602176″]<\/p>\n

INTERSOS EMERGENCY RESPONSE<\/b><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”155080″]On the basis of this assessment and of the needs that emerged, we provided an immediate response by distributing basic necessities<\/strong>, providing initial psychological assistance<\/strong> and psychosocial support services<\/strong> and managing the cases of vulnerable people identified.<\/span><\/p>\n

928 families of 3,989 people received hygiene kits, mattresses, blankets, cholera kits, sanitary pads and napkins for adults and children. In parallel, over 2,000 people received cash assistance to meet their protection needs. Of these, 63% were of Syrian origin, while 37% were Lebanese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The INTERSOS team in Lebanon has been active in responding to this crisis since 12 October, activating an Emergency Response Team<\/strong> (ERT) composed of 23 frontline workers, including social workers, psychologists and protection experts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rapid deterioration of the situation on the southern borders forced INTERSOS to close, first partially and then completely, three Community Day Care Centres located near the border. However, within our safe spaces in Tyr, Nabatieh and Saida, we provided integrated assistance to 755 people through emergency cash distributions, distribution of basic necessities and referrals to specialised services.<\/span><\/p>\n

An INTERSOS team also intervened in 4 collective shelters<\/strong> in the district of Tyre: the Lebanese German University, the Technical School of Tyre, the Intermediate School for Girls in Tyre and the National School of Tyre. Our staff carried out a number of interventions to ensure privacy and security, installing locks and solar panels to ensure lighting and creating separate spaces. We also secured the electrical system and made the toilets accessible to the people with disabilities. We provided water tanks and fire extinguishers.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to strengthen resilience within the displaced communities we also organised community based initiatives<\/strong>. We directly provided displaced people who moved from Kfarchuba to Saida with training on psychological first aid in order to impart the skills needed to directly support individuals in the community who are continuously moving. In Sour and Nabatieh, meanwhile, we trained community members who volunteered to become community teachers<\/strong> for children who are out of school due to war or displacement.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTERSOS launched its emergency response thanks to the support of ECHO<\/strong>, PRM<\/strong> and regular funding from UNHCR<\/strong>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”425688″]\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”149051″]*Data from October to December 2023<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][uncode_counter value=”5.527″ counter_color=”color-214091″ size=”h2″ text=”Individual assessments of protection needs” uncode_shortcode_id=”151568″ counter_color_type=”uncode-palette”][uncode_counter value=”3.989″ counter_color=”color-133810″ text=”People received basic necessities” uncode_shortcode_id=”181940″ counter_color_type=”uncode-palette”][uncode_counter value=”2.000″ counter_color=”color-593175″ text=”People received cash assistance” uncode_shortcode_id=”494569″ counter_color_type=”uncode-palette”][uncode_counter value=”755″ counter_color=”color-593175″ text=”People received integrated care” uncode_shortcode_id=”193674″ counter_color_type=”uncode-palette”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”123554″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”633397″]<\/p>\n

WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”192328″]Currently, within our safe spaces in Tyre, Nabatieh, and Saida, we support displaced and local communities through social welfare services, cash assistance, community initiatives, and emotional support groups. Despite the closure of our three centers in Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun, Hasbaya, we have never stopped helping people who remained in the areas at risk<\/strong>, providing psychological support remotely and continuing to intercept cases that need assistance through our community volunteers still present in those areas.<\/p>\n

We also carry out emergency distributions in high-risk areas<\/a> through the mechanism of \u201cdeconfliction,\u201d which employs special procedures to minimize the danger of accidents and ensure a higher level of safety for our workers and the people we assist.<\/p>\n

Between February and May 2024, we carried out three targeted interventions at the border, delivering emergency in-kind and cash assistance and providing protection services. During one of these interventions we exceptionally reopened our Safe Space in Marjayoun, closed in November for security reasons, to provide emergency psychological assistance to cases previously identified by our staff and outreach volunteers, mostly women experiencing psychological distress.<\/p>\n

People in the southern territories are in dire need of material support<\/strong>, as the bombing destroyed important water infrastructure and agricultural land, and forced the closure of health facilities, schools and courts, leaving people without essential services and very often without jobs and livelihoods. Another major problem is access to clean water<\/strong>, which has been compromised by the attacks on infrastructure, generating fears among the residents that many water sources may be contaminated.<\/p>\n

But the needs in these areas are even more complex: we have observed serious symptoms of psychological distress among children<\/strong>, but also among women and men, and there has clearly been an increase in incidents of domestic violence. Many women also find themselves alone to manage the family because their husbands have moved elsewhere seeking work. However, closed schools remain the main problem. The absence of educational or recreational activities has led to the worst forms of child labour, with many children observed on dangerous streets collecting plastic, iron and other materials to sell.<\/p>\n

From January to May 2024, in southern Lebanon, we supported more than 2,400 people<\/strong> by distributing money to them to secure housing, distributed hygiene kits to more than 1,300 people<\/strong>, and supported a total of 10,500 people<\/strong> through our protection activities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”425688″]\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”556180″]*Data from January to May 2024<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][uncode_counter value=”10.500″ counter_color=”color-214091″ size=”h2″ text=”People supported with protection activities” uncode_shortcode_id=”255602″ counter_color_type=”uncode-palette”][uncode_counter value=”2.400″ counter_color=”color-133810″ text=”People received money to secure housing” uncode_shortcode_id=”281068″ counter_color_type=”uncode-palette”][uncode_counter value=”1.300″ counter_color=”color-593175″ text=”People received hygiene kits” uncode_shortcode_id=”123879″ counter_color_type=”uncode-palette”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-gyho” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”209351″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”389625″]<\/p>\n

OUR SUPPORT TO THE SYRIAN REFUGEE COMMUNITY<\/b><\/h3>\n

At the outbreak of the conflict, we saw several signs that the Syrian refugees present could be neglected in the emergency response. Moreover, several Municipalities issued Restrictive Memos that seriously affected the already critical situation of Syrian refugees and further limited their capacity of movement. To mitigate these challenges, in addition to advocating in support of the Syrian population, we worked to ensure that our response focused on internally displaced Syrian refugees. Through our network of\u00a0 staff and outreach volunteers in Nabatieh Governorate, we focused on supporting those outside the collective shelters, conducting in-person visits to accessible areas and providing remote responses within the red zones.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the data we collected from January to the end of April 2024, the number of displaced Syrians has increased significantly, reaching 72% of the total number of IDPs in April, whereas in January they were only 17%. Syrians initially hesitated to move for several reasons, including financial constraints, the absence of community support networks, and the fear of losing their rented homes. Moreover, the olive growing season offered Syrians high-risk but well-paid jobs, encouraging them to stay despite the dangers. As the security problems worsen, however, even those who were reluctant are abandoning the areas of fighting.<\/p>\n

There are, however, many Syrians who have decided to remain in the south, facing a variety of challenges. In the districts of Hasbaya and Marjaayoun refugees continue to work in cultivated fields despite the high risk of bombardment. During one of the missions to the border, INTERSOS staff visited some informal settlements hosting Syrian families to assess their needs. People reported feeling trapped in the settlements, in very poor hygienic conditions, often without electricity for months and with access only to contaminated water sources. In these places, they live isolated from the rest of the community, partly because of tensions with the Lebanese community, which the conflict is only exacerbating.<\/p>\n

The heads of families are unemployed and send their children to work in order to procure some form of livelihood. In the three settlements visited by our operators, this applies to two thirds of the girls and one third of the boys, and none of the children attend school any more.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
