Additional Information / Shotlist With waves of rain and cold weather affecting some countries these days, conditions are becoming even more challenging for people sheltering in plastic tents or open areas, as seen in the streets of Beirut. In almost 4 weeks, Lebanon has witnessed the displacement of more than 1 million people. Living conditions remain extremely difficult for many who have yet to find proper shelter.
Our teams have mobilized since the current escalation began, providing support through more than 18 mobile units. We are also distributing water, food, blankets, and tents, and supplying fuel and medical items to a number of hospitals. Simultaneously, our teams are running a water and sanitation intervention to meet urgent needs, including installing water tanks and latrines, rehabilitating water infrastructure, and trucking clean water to several dilapidated shelters across the country.
