Abstract:
The humanitarian situation in Lebanon continues to deteriorate, triggering growing poverty and increasing needs. The country's economic collapse ranks among the worst globally in the last century, causing severe inflation and unemployment, making living costs unaffordable for thousands, and creating acute humanitarian needs. Over half of the Lebanese population is living below the poverty line (World Bank, 2022). Lebanon has among the world’s highest numbers of refugees per capita, out of which an estimated 90 per cent of Syrian households in 2023 are living in extreme poverty. Without a functioning government, Lebanon’s presidential vacuum has contributed to local clashes and further destabilization of the country’s delicate political balance. State bankruptcy has weakened public services, including electricity, and by extension, life-saving health care. The Russo-Ukraine war has disrupted grain supplies, causing food insecurity. With the cost of bread rising, 45 per cent of Lebanese households are struggling to afford food (WFP, 2023). Additionally, since the outbreak of hostilities in Gaza on 7 October 2023, cross-border clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have intensified daily.
