JOB CONTEXT:
After almost a year of hostilities across southern Lebanon, the conflict escalated on 23th of September 2024, between IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and LH (Lebanese Hezbollah). Indeed, the IDF (Israel Defense Force) continued its intensive airstrike campaign, focusing mainly on the Nabatieh and South governorates in southern Lebanon, also Beqaa and Baalbek-Hermel. LH (Lebanese Hizballah) has also increased the tempo and range of its strikes, though these remain largely within Israel\u2019s Haifa and Northern district and predominantly target IDF bases. Key top leaders of the LH have been targeted and killed during the last days, including the Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, September 27th.
OCHA reports on September 30th, 211,319 displaced. But the Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said on Sunday that as many as one million people had been displaced by the violence. Lebanese officials estimate, based on the 2006 experience, that approximately one quarter of the total number of directly affected and/or displaced individuals are in shelters. With many displaced in collective shelters still unregistered, the national Disaster Risk Management (DRM) dashboard is now reporting over 115,000 individuals in more than 660 shelters. The Government has opened a new batch of shelters, mainly in the North and Mount Lebanon. Meanwhile, non-governmental sites were also settled including 4 migrant specific shelters (opened and managed by NGOs); 3 embassy shelters; and 5 UNRWA sites which are now accommodating more than 1,400 displaced. Efforts to map displaced people in spontaneous shelters have also been initiated.
The five main districts from which people departed are located in southern Lebanon (Bent Jbeil, Marjaayoun, Tyre, and El Nabatieh), with one district in the east (Baalbek).
