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.

Having limited legal status has direct negative consequences for Syrian refugees’ access to protection and assistance during their stay in Lebanon. Limited legal status also increases the risks of abuse and exploitation. Lebanon is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, hence the limited legal protection for refugees and asylum seekers in Lebanon, although it is bound by the customary law principle of non-refoulement and by the obligations of the human rights treaties which it has signed and which are incorporated into its Constitution. International standards under these obligations...
