IOM Lebanon Emergency Response - Update #4 (15 - 28 November 2024)
SITUATION OVERVIEW
Since mid-September 2024, displacement has increased dramatically, from 110,000 people between October 2023 and September 2024 to nearly 900,000 by 24 November 2024. A ceasefire agreement took effect at 4 a.m. on 27 November, prompting nearly 580,000 internally displaced persons to begin returning home, mainly to the South, as reported in IOM’s Flash Update.
As of 28 November, 22,214 internally displaced persons remain in 396 collective sites, mostly schools or other public or private spaces. The post-ceasefire situation remains uncertain. IOM is closely monitoring mobility trends, assessing the evolving context, and continuing to address the immediate humanitarian needs of those affected by the conflict, including returnees.
In support of the government-led emergency response, the humanitarian community launched an interagency flash appeal for USD 426 million to assist 1 million people until December 2024. IOM requires USD 32.46 million for urgent lifesaving assistance in the areas of shelter, basic needs, health, protection, site management and coordination, and the Displacement Tracking Matrix.
