HIGHLIGHTS

  • At least 4,321 deaths and 12,204 injuries due to hostilities recorded by the Ministry of Public Health since 2 March.
  • 732,594 people having returned to their areas of origin, while 430,000 people remain displaced, including 33,343 Internally Displaced Persons (over 53 per cent women and girls) in 325 collective shelters as of 9 July.
  • Humanitarian needs remain acute in both displacement and return areas. Damage to homes, health facilities, water systems, electricity networks, and other critical infrastructure continues to affect access to essential services, while funding gaps and operational constraints are limiting the scale of the response. As of 9 July, the 2026 Lebanon Flash Appeal was only 42 per cent funded.
