Lebanon: Displacement Impact and Rapid Needs Assessment (DIRNA) - Beirut Governorate (21st of October 2024)

Key Messages

• As of 21st of October, the majority of the population seems to be able to, at least partially, meet their basic needs. However, if the crisis persists, rising prices and reduced financial resources, coupled with loss of livelihoods are likely to erode households' capacity to fulfil their needs.
• Amid rising demand for shelter, many displaced households are forced into unsafe living conditions. Efforts to expand affordable and adequate shelter options will be critical, especially as winter approaches.
• Access to essential services is increasingly difficult for both displaced and host communities. Education has been severely disrupted by the closure of schools and the health system, severly weaken by past crisis, faces increasing strain.

78% of Key Informants (KIs) reported food support as a priority need for displaced populations.

61% of KIs reported unavailability of certain medications for displaced populations.
