As hostilities intensify and displacement rises, the Lebanese Red Cross continues to provide ambulance services, blood support, healthcare, and relief assistance to people affected across the country
Lebanon is facing a severe humanitarian emergency following renewed escalation that began on 2 March 2026
Airstrikes and shelling affected multiple areas including South Lebanon, Nabatieh, Beirut’s southern suburbs, Bekaa, Baalbek-Hermel, and Mount Lebanon, further worsening the humanitarian situation
Evacuation orders in Beirut’s southern suburbs and parts of the Bekaa triggered mass displacement and severe traffic congestion as families fled to safer areas. Warnings were also renewed for areas south of the Litani River
According to official national figures, hundreds of hostilities incidents were recorded, causing deaths, injuries, large-scale displacement, and major pressure on shelters, health services, and emergency response capacity
The Lebanese Red Cross is on the frontlines, delivering urgent lifesaving services through its volunteers, staff, and operational teams across Lebanon
LRC is also coordinating with public authorities, local partners, NGOs, and INGOs to ensure a wider and more effective response while maintaining essential routine services nationwide
The Lebanese Red Cross needs immediate support to sustain operations and respond to increasing humanitarian needs across the country
