Since the escalation of the armed conflict in Lebanon in March 2026, ICRC teams have supported authorities and local actors, assisted communities in urgent need, and engaged in confidential dialogue with relevant parties. They have trained responders, empowered communities, and strengthened protection systems, putting humanitarian principles into concrete action for those most affected by the conflict.

A look at the measurable impact of our work since March 2, 2026:

  • 9,860 individuals in conflict-affected areas or in displacement benefited from 1,892 food parcels, 1,892 hygiene parcels, 400 mattresses, 750 blankets, and 37 tarpaulins across 11 villages.
     
  • Supported 15 hospitals through the provision of medical supplies, weapon-wounded kits, medications, water, food assistance, and essential items for staff, helping address critical supply gaps and benefiting 955 patients.
     
  • Provided donations for 9 PHCs and 1 Mobile Medical Unit in partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs, covering the catchment population of Marjayoun, benefiting more than 20,000 individuals. Donations included Interagency Emergency Health Kits, acute and chronic medications, consumables, medications, as well as burn and dressing sets.
     
  • Provided fuel support to 75 key water pumping stations across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley to help ensure the continuity of water services for over 817,000 people in host communities and collective shelters.
     
  • Conducted repairs on water networks damaged by the conflict in Britel and Nabi Sheet in the Bekaa valley, and Marjayoun in southern Lebanon.
