Lebanon: Overview of Lebanon Winter Preparedness & Response 2025-2026

With the winter season approaching, the Lebanon Response Plan (LRP) partners are coordinating interventions to address seasonal needs amid compounding crises. The operating context remains marked by protracted economic decline, a fragile political and security environment, and the continued erosion of household coping capacities across all population groups. While 2025 has brought a degree of renewed hope, with an increased pace of returns of displaced Syrians to Syria and, since late 2024, the gradual return of internally displaced Lebanese following the ceasefire, many vulnerable households of all nationalities remain unable to meet their basic needs.
Persistently high fuel and food prices, inadequate shelter conditions, and the cumulative impact of successive crises have left families illprepared to cope with the added strain of winter, particularly in high-altitude areas prone to snow, flooding, and sub-zero temperatures.
