MIDDLE EAST CRISIS (MEC) ESCALATION | SITREP #3

Since October 2023, World Vision Lebanon has been responding to military escalations in Southern Lebanon, reaching 46,636 people, including 17,209 children. As the conflict intensified from 23 September 2024, its impact extended beyond Southern Lebanon to central regions, including Bekaa and Beirut, and so did our operations to meet the needs of affected families. By 16 October, over 2,367 people had been killed, 11,106 injured, and 1.2 million people have been directly affected and/or have been forced to flee from their homes for safety, many seeking refuge in temporary shelters.
