Despite the official pronouncement of a ceasefire, election of a president and formation of a reform-oriented government, the socio-economic situation in Lebanon remained fragile, and the country continued to face serious challenges, compounded by intermitted armed escalations and displacement in Q1 2025.
Due to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan with more than 124 million forcibly displaced, out of which 3.4 million fled into neighbouring countries, the Federation-wide Emergency Appeal was revised, increasing the total funding ask from the initial CHF 42 million to CHF 47.5 million and extending the operation end date to December 2025.
This Protection Sector Analysis Report by the Protection Working Group covers the recent developments in Lebanon, focusing on the period following the ceasefire announcement in Lebanon on 27 November 2024 and the cross-border displacement of Syrians following the fall of the Assad government in Syria.
