Additional Information / Shotlist Summary of Shelter: The Azarieh shelter, once a bustling commercial center in the heart of Beirut, has been transformed into a refuge for people displaced by the ongoing Israeli bombardment in Lebanon. This makeshift shelter, now housing more than 2,500 people, is one of over 800 across the country according to national authorities. Conditions here are dire, as the facility was never intended for long-term living, leaving families struggling without adequate resources, and basic needs.

To address the urgent medical needs of those residing here, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has deployed a mobile medical unit there, providing essential primary healthcare and psychological support, especially for children affected. In addition, we have distributed vital non-food items such as hygiene products, mattresses, and blankets to help improve living conditions for these vulnerable families.
