The conflict has reached a critical humanitarian threshold. 2,124 deaths (including 166 children and 250+ women) and 6,921 injuries recorded since 2 March. Approximately 20% of the Lebanese population is now internally displaced, with mass displacement compounding pre-existing vulnerabilities across all groups.

The destruction of civilian infrastructure — medical facilities, bridges, and routes — combined with critical security threats has severely restricted humanitarian access. Capacity gaps are most acute in active conflict zones: South, Nabatieh, Baalbek-Hermel, Bekaa, and Southern Suburbs of Beirut, where life-saving protection services are nearly impossible to deliver through static modalities. On 8 April, Israeli forces struck over 100 targets across the country in under 10 minutes — killing 303 people and injuring 1,150 in a single day, prompting a national day of mourning. A fragile two-week US-Iran ceasefire was subsequently announced, though strikes on Lebanon have continued.

Displacement conditions, collapse of the protection environment, and chronic lack of privacy are the primary drivers of escalating GBV, exploitation, and trafficking risks for women and girls. The collapse of family support systems has left children and persons with disabilities facing acute psychological distress and a critical lack of specialized services. WHO has recorded 133 attacks on healthcare since 2 March, resulting in more than 80 deaths and over 190 injuries among health workers — further devastating already overstretched protection and medical services.

Overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in 680 collective sites housing over 140,000 IDPs have created high-risk environments. At least 55 primary healthcare centres and 6 hospitals have been forced to close due to hostilities, while 14 hospitals and 7 PHCs have sustained damage. Protection, GBV, and CP actors are critically overstretched due to surging demand compounded by the displacement of their own staff.
