Countries: Lebanon, occupied Palestinian territory, Syrian Arab Republic Source: American Near East Refugee Aid Please refer to the attached file. WAR HAS ACCELERTED DECLINING PROSPECTS This report captures a critical inflection point for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, where long-standing structural vulnerabilities have converged with the impact of the 2026 war. The conflict has not created these inequalities, but it has sharply exposed and intensified them, revealing how fragile existing systems had already become. Even before the latest escalation, years of economic collapse and declining international funding had pushed many families into survival mode, as access to healthcare, education and livelihoods steadily eroded, while humanitarian institutions were forced to scale back services due to sustained funding shortfalls. Anera conducted the research, data collection and roundtable consultations that inform this report just months before the escalation. While conditions have since deteriorated further, the findings remain highly relevant in documenting the shrinking support systems shaping how communities are experiencing the conflict’s impact. For Palestinian communities, largely excluded from national safety nets, there are no viable alternatives when aid contracts. In December 2025, Anera brought together 15 community-based and international organizations to examine how funding cuts were reshaping daily life in Palestinian communities. Participants described a humanitarian landscape in which needs were rising as resources declined, with Palestinian refugees among the hardest hit. They warned that reduced support was accelerating deterioration across nearly every aspect of life faster than existing systems could respond. The subsequent escalation of war has only intensified these pressures, adding new emergency demands and underscoring how little margin for shock remains. Addressing this crisis requires more than data. It requires close attention to frontline perspectives in order to understand both immediate needs and longer-term consequences. Drawing on organizational perspectives and direct testimony, this report shows that essential services have been reduced to a minimum, prevention and development programming has largely collapsed, and women and children are bearing a disproportionate share of the burden. Ultimately, what emerges is a reality that risks being overlooked: a long-standing lack of legal rights combined with the steady erosion of services and future prospects that the war has accelerated but did not begin. By bringing together the views and experiences of refugees and the organizations that serve them, this report offers a clearer understanding of the crisis and a call for renewed coordination and investment in Palestinians in Lebanon.

Country: Nepal Source: Save the Children Decaying human and animal remains, unmanaged waste, and stagnant water are further heightening the risk of waterborne diseases including diarrhoea and skin infections, Save the Children said. KATHMANDU, 31 August 2026 – Children crammed into public shelters are facing an increased risk of illness as families struggle to get clean water for drinking and washing in the aftermath of the devastating flash floods, Save the Children said. On the road from the capital Kathmandu to Trishuli Bazar, a once bustling market area and the commercial heart of Nuwakot district, body bags are piling up and starting to emit a strong smell of decomposition. Decaying human and animal remains, unmanaged waste, and stagnant water are further heightening the risk of waterborne diseases including diarrhoea and skin infections, said the aid agency. Save the Children staff have seen children visibly unwell, with some being treated for respiratory tract infections and fevers. Yalmo*, 57, who came to a holding centre in Nuwakot with his family, said some of his grandchildren were coughing while other children in the centre had developed low fevers. “There was a lot of dirt, and we felt like we were going to be sick,” said Yalmo*, recounting how his family walked to safety. His wife, Amita*, 56, said the family were left with nothing after the water tore through their community, and now some of her grandchildren, who she clutches close to her, are sick. “We were out in the open too long, so we have scratchy throats and fever,” she said. Many of the water sources in the affected areas are contaminated by debris from the flash floods, leaving communities without access to clean drinking and bathing water. Rain is continuing, washing torrents of mud into areas where people have fled from their ruined homes. Some children now living in community buildings on higher ground spent days out in the open after the floods tore through their villages leaving more than 900 people dead in Nepal and over 4,000 still missing. As rain and the threat of further flash floods continue to affect communities across Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts, some of the areas worst-affected by the floods, children are also vulnerable to vector-borne diseases, such as dengue, as stagnant water creates breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Tara Chettry, Country Director, Save the Children in Nepal said: “The immediate danger from the devastating flash floods may have passed in some areas, but we fear a second crisis is unfolding. “Crowded spaces, contaminated water, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare create the ideal conditions for disease outbreaks that can severely harm children. “Children are also showing up to holding centres and temporary shelters with coughs and other illnesses and sometimes there is no medicine. In rural or entirely cut off areas the situation will be even worse.” With needs continuing to grow, Save the Children is calling on governments, donors, and humanitarian partners to increase flexible funding for the Nepal floods emergency response to ensure children and their families receive the help that they need. Save the Children in Nepal’s emergency response team is working in the affected areas and delivering essential items, including drinking water, tarpaulins, blankets, cooking kits, mosquito nets, baby kits and personal hygiene items such as toothbrushes in the first phase of the response. Save the Children has worked in Nepal since 1976. The organisation runs programmes spanning child protection, child rights governance, education, climate change, gender equality, health and nutrition and child poverty.

The districts of Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha and Chitwan have been impacted. The full extent of casualties and damage is still being assessed; however, more than 10,000 households are reportedly affected. Save the Children in Nepal dispatched emergency relief items for 1,000 families, and distributions began on the second day in Nuwakot district, one of the areas affected by the flash floods. Assistance includes tarpaulins, baby packs, mosquito nets, dignity and hygiene kits, blankets, kitchen utensils, sanitation and hygiene supplies, and other critical life-saving items. Further assessment and response activities are ongoing in coordination with government and local partners. Dil Kamal Chettri/ Save the Children The rapid increase in the number of children and families arriving at the limited holding centres is putting additional pressure on already stretched facilities and raising concerns about children’s health, safety and access to essential services.

Dil Kamal Chettri/ Save the Children Nine school children have been reunited with their families after being stranded at school for two days by the devastating flash floods in Northern Nepal, as rescue efforts continue to reach other students, Save the Children said. Nine-year-old Namushi lives in Western Province, Zambia, with her grandmother Mafelelezo (55), her two sisters and cousins. Her mother is unwell, so Mafelelezo takes care of Namushi and her sisters. Zambia’s worst drought in 20 years has left the extended family – who survive by farming a small area of land – in a desperate search for food each day. The rainy season in Zambia normally stretches from October to March,

Country: Nepal Source: UN Women Please refer to the attached file. On 26 August 2026, severe flooding along the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers affected communities across Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha and Chitwan districts, causing loss of life, displacement and damage to homes, infrastructure, agricultural land and livelihoods. An estimated 157,050 women and girls living in Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts have been impacted directly and indirectly. The differentiated impacts on women and girls are not yet fully known. Initial information points to heightened risks associated with displacement and protection, access to safe WASH and essential health services, food and nutrition insecurity, loss of livelihoods and increased unpaid care responsibilities, and barriers to accessing humanitarian assistance and participating in recovery. This Gender Alert draws on available emergency information, initial reporting from women’s rights organizations, pre-crisis gender data and evidence from previous disasters in Nepal to identify emerging gender risks and priority actions for the humanitarian response.
