SECURITY:

The political and security situation in Lebanon is complex and volatile. A government was created on Sept 2021, after more than 1-year vacancy, but the political situation remains very fragile. Elections are taking-place in May 2022, and could see rising tensions between the different political groups.

International tensions are as well important, with the influence and indirect involvement of the USA and Iran. No peace treaty has in addition been signed between Israel and Lebanon since the 2006 war, and tensions between Lebanese parties remain high, and fueled by Syria’s long-lasting civil war, just miles away.

A Financial and Economic crisis has been hitting Lebanon hard, with high inflation, major loss of value of the local currency and shortages (on fuel, electricity, medicines, etc.).

Despite these on-going internal and external tensions, Lebanon’s security situation is currently acceptable. There is no curfew in place on the Lebanon mission and international staff can move around without too many restrictions even though Akkar and the Beqaa valley include some no-go areas. The security measures in place could still be upgraded quickly depending on the context’s evolution.

Covid 19 :

SI recommends vaccination against Covid-19, using WHO approved vaccines. If possible, the vaccination should be done before departure in order to reduce the logistical constraints once on the ground.
