Overview
- On Friday the United Nations and the Lebanese government launched a revised Flash Appeal seeking an extra $331.5 million, bringing the six‑month total to about $639.9 million to sustain assistance for up to 1.4 million people.
- Humanitarian funding remains far short of needs, with roughly $185–186 million reported as received against the original March appeal, leaving partners at risk of cutting or scaling back life‑saving services.
- Repeated fighting and an Israeli displacement order have driven mass, repeated movements of people, with nearly 135,000 registered in collective shelters, an estimated 200,000 displaced in Beirut after the June 1 order, and more than 1 million people displaced overall.
- Healthcare and education systems are badly strained, with at least 62 hospitals and health facilities damaged or closed, repeated strikes on Tebnine Governmental Hospital that killed and wounded staff and patients, and nearly 450 schools being used as shelters.
- Humanitarian leaders warn that predictable flexible funding, protection for civilians and medical staff, and guaranteed safe access are needed to avoid wider public‑health, education and food‑security collapse in a country already weakened by economic crisis.
