A Call to Join Forces: Coordination and complementarity of services for an efficient and cost-effective emergency response in Lebanon
In the face of escalating needs in Lebanon due to the regional armed conflict, ABAAD is reaching out to actors currently working on the ground, particularly those operating in or around collective shelters, to ensure that services are complementary, resources are used efficiently, and conflict-affected communities receive timely and effective support.
Lebanon is facing the direct consequences of a regional armed conflict that escalated sharply on February 28, 2026. As the conflict spread, strikes on Lebanon resumed and intensified, triggering mass displacement across the country. Civilian casualties are rising, social safety nets are breaking down, and communities are being uprooted in a country where nearly half the population was already living in poverty before this escalation began. ABAAD is launching this emergency appeal to mobilize the resources required to sustain and scale life-saving GBV prevention and response services, ensuring...
يواجه لبنان تصعيدًا خطيرًا في النزاع الإقليمي منذ 28 شباط 2026، ما أدى إلى تجدّد الضربات واتّساع موجات النزوح وارتفاع أعداد الضحايا، في ظل أوضاع اقتصادية ومعيشيّة هشّة.

Findings in the "Analysis on Stunting Among Syrian Refugee Children" showed that risk factors perceived to be contributing to stunting levels among Syrian refugee children included those at the individual and household level with poor maternal nutrition, household food insecurity and inadequate complementary feeding practices as the factors perceived to be contributing the most to stunting among Syrian children. On the other hand, at the institutional and community level, market food prices, poverty, income, employment and livelihoods were the factors perceived to be contributing the most to...

Lebanon may witness a remarkable rise in the number of women serving in Parliament come May 2018 due to initiatives from women’s groups, “civil society” activists, and the substantial number of female candidates – 113 at the start of the election period. However, as this briefing paper shows, Lebanese women continue to face numerous challenges in entering government. The new electoral law passed in June 2017 does not provide women with equal opportunity to be elected, and it is yet to be seen whether it will increase female representation in Parliament. Nevertheless, the historic number of...
