April 2026 – Lebanon is experiencing a sharp surge in humanitarian needs following the latest escalation of hostilities, which has driven large-scale displacement and intensified pressure on already fragile health and social support systems. The Lebanon Flash Appeal estimates 1.3 million people will be directly affected during the March–May 2026 response period, while WHO reports over 1 million self-registered internally displaced persons (IDPs), including many living in collective shelters. Intensified operations since early March have caused significant casualties and damage, including attacks affecting health workers, emergency medical services, and essential infrastructure, further threatening the continuity of life-saving and essential health services. With GAC’s support, World Vision Canada will 1) improve the use of immediate life-saving primary healthcare services for conflict-affected and displaced populations and vulnerable host communities, and 2) increase the immediate use of an enhanced protective environment and systems?to respond to protection issues.
