INTERSOS is a non-profit humanitarian aid organization that works to bring assistance to people in danger, victims of natural disasters and armed conflicts. Established in 1992 with support from the Italian Federation of Trade Unions, its actions are based on the values of solidarity, justice, human dignity, equal rights and opportunities for all people and respect for diversity and coexistence, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable and the unprotected. INTERSOS identifies with the core values of CONCORD, the European Confederation of NGOs; it adheres to international codes of conduct for humanitarian organizations and the values and principles expressed within those codes. INTERSOS is recognized by the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the European Commission and the principal UN agencies; it is privileged to hold an advisory status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
INTERSOS is an independent association which, through its own humanitarian operators, intervenes to effectively answer the needs of people in serious crises situations, mainly in the world's poorest regions, who are suffering, deprived of rights, dignity and essentials goods. It maintains a flexible operating structure. The head office in Italy coordinates, supports and monitors the planned activities in the countries of intervention carried out by decentralized offices.
During 2020 Lebanon has been characterized by multiple crises, creating a complex situation unlikely to be resolved in the imminent future. On one side the prolonged Syrian crisis made Lebanon the country with the highest number of refugees per capita in the world. On the other hand, there has been a massive impact on the most vulnerable (refugees and local populations) of the economic crisis that began in 2019 and worsened in 2020, in the midst of political instability, further compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. The explosion at the Port of Beirut had devastating immediate and medium-term negative consequences on the local socio-economic environment. The already complicated living conditions of the refugees in the country, together with a reduced ability of the central government and national authorities to provide basic services, created a constant need for humanitarian assistance for the most vulnerable.
