Lebanon |
Lebanon has been facing an evolving complex humanitarian crisis since late 2019, generating widespread needs for assistance and protection. It is in this context that two powerful explosions occurred at the Port of Beirut on 4 August 2020, leaving devastating impacts while the country grapples with overlapping economic and financial crises, political volatility, and the implications of COVID-19 pandemic as well as hosting the highest refugee population per capita in the world.
The combined effects of these crises are leaving growing numbers of people in urgent need of support and deepening risks for vulnerable groups including migrants and refugees. Over 80% of people in Lebanon are affected by “multidimensional poverty” (UN Economic and Social Commission for West Asia, 2021), reflecting deprivation across areas such as healthcare, electricity, water, sanitation, transportation, connectivity, and means of income. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose risks and strain Lebanon’s overburdened healthcare system. |

Drought |
Syrian Arab Rep |
Since January 2021, Syria has witnessed unprecedented low water levels of the Euphrates River, falling from 500m3 to 214 m3 in June, resulting in two of the most significant reservoirs in Syria having being significantly diminished and 54 out of 73 water stations severely impacted (OCHA, 2021)1 in Aleppo, Deir-ez-Zor, Al-Hasakeh and Ar-Raqqa governorates. Low levels of water in reservoirs resulted in reduced energy production capacity causing power black outs across the north-eastern Syria, with only 1-2 hours of electricity in some locations and up to three million people have been affected by reduced electricity generation and availability. Compounded by ongoing fuel shortages, water pumping stations have limited functionality, affecting safe access to and availability of drinking water of the population in north-eastern Syria. |
