. Violence persisted across Lebanon in spite of a ceasefire extension, further worsening an already critical humanitarian situation. Women and girls continue to face heightened protection risks, disrupted health services, and reduced access to safe and dignified support. On 31 May, airstrikes severe
Key takeaway On 5 June, UNFPA launched a revised Flash Appeal, aligned to the revised Inter-Agency Lebanon Flash Appeal.
Why this matters
The ongoing crisis in Lebanon has severe implications for the country's most vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls. The destruction of a UNFPA-supported primary healthcare centre and a women and girls' safe space in southern Lebanon has further reduced access to essential services, exacerbating the humanitarian situation. The forced evacuation orders and intense attacks have increased displacement, causing panic and distress among affected persons. UNFPA's efforts to provide sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence services to over 124,000 displaced people are critical in addressing the urgent needs of the affected populations. The revised Flash Appeal for $25 million will be crucial in sustaining essential life-saving services, and the international community's response to this appeal will be closely watched. The ability of organizations like UNFPA to deliver aid in a timely and effective manner will be essential in mitigating the crisis and protecting the rights and dignity of those affected.
