Urgent Call for De-escalation and Protection of Civilians in Lebanon

As the conflict intensifies in Lebanon, the devastating toll on civilians and humanitarian workers grows more severe by the day. We are gravely concerned for the safety of those caught in the crossfire and directly affected by the escalating violence. The humanitarian crisis, already compounded by Lebanon’s economic collapse, has now reached a critical tipping point with thousands of people being displaced. The escalation of the conflict will stretch our Members’ operations to the limit, leaving them and those who they serve exhausted and resources depleted.
