This UNFPA situation report #6 describes the humanitarian situation in Lebanon as of January 2025, amidst ongoing conflict and displacement. Key challenges include continued violations of the ceasefire agreement and the closure of 19 Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs) and three hospitals, severely impacting the delivery of essential medical services. More than 103,300 people remain internally displaced, including close to 54,500 women. In addition, an estimated 87,000 Lebanese and refugees have crossed the borders into Lebanon from Syria. Displacement and overcrowded living conditions are exacerbating protection risks for women and girls. Vulnerability to gender-based violence, sexual exploitation and abuse have all increased, particularly for those on the move or returning to unsafe/damaged homes.
UNFPA is working with partners to address the health and protection needs of affected populations. UNFPA supported 38 women to access institutional deliveries (including C-sections). UNFPA's support to 21 hospitals across Lebanon is ensuring pregnant women can continue to access emergency obstetric care. UNFPA is supporting sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services at 67 PHCCs and 10 medical mobile units. UNFPA distributed 12,331 dignity kits to women and girls in shelters and areas of return. These kits are part of a supply of more than 14,100 kits. UNFPA is supporting five women and girls' safe spaces, which provide comprehensive medical and psychosocial support for women and girls at risk of or being subjected to violence. As of 31 January, health partners reported that almost 18,478 people had received SRH services across the country.
UNFPA's overall humanitarian appeal under the Lebanon Response Plan is US$40 million for humanitarian and recovery needs in 2025
. As of January 2025, UNFPA Lebanon's appeal is only 14% (US$5.6 million) funded.
