Protection monitoring has revealed a deteriorating environment due to intensified hostilities and prolonged displacement. The cumulative impact of conflict is driving protection risks, with civilians experiencing overlapping risks such as attacks, displacement, and psychological distress. These risks are reinforcing one another, reducing households' capacity to recover.

Escalating shelling and damaged infrastructure are also contributing to the situation. Further details on the protection environment and its impact on civilians are available from the Danish Refugee Council's Quarterly Protection Monitoring Report, which covers the period from April to June 2026.
