Key takeaway Between 2 March and 17 July 2026, Protection, Child Protection and Gender-Based Violence partners reached 404,750 people with protection assistance across Lebanon.
Why this matters
The scale of the protection emergency in Lebanon is evident in the sheer number of people displaced and the ongoing need for collective shelters. With over 1.04 million people displaced, the response efforts of Protection, Child Protection, and Gender-Based Violence partners are crucial in providing assistance to those affected. The fact that women and girls represent 63% of people reached by these efforts highlights the disproportionate impact of the crisis on this demographic. The geographic distribution of response efforts, with the largest numbers of people reached in South Governorate, Mount Lebanon, and Beirut, also underscores the varying levels of need across different regions. As the response continues, it will be essential to monitor the effectiveness of these efforts and ensure that they are tailored to meet the specific needs of different population groups, including Lebanese nationals, Syrians, and migrants.
