Lebanon Emergency Response SitRep. #3 Reporting period: 11 – 23 March 2026

Country: Lebanon Source: CESVI Please refer to the attached file. CESVI RESPONSE STRATEGY CESVI is mobilising its emergency capacity to deliver immediate life-saving assistance in response to the rapid escalation of hostilities across Lebanon, conducting rapid needs assessments while scaling up targeted support to IDPs and vulnerable host communities. Building on its established presence and operational infrastructure, CESVI is rapidly expanding emergency interventions in areas where it already maintains access and strong local partnerships: Saida, Baalbek, Iqlim El Kharroub and Bourj Hammoud in Beirut. The immediate response prioritises life-saving assistance to displaced populations in shelters and host communities, providing protection services and psychosocial support, Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA), health services, and the distribution of core relief items. CESVI, present in Lebanon since 2001, is currently delivering life-saving emergency assistance, building on its integrated, multisectoral humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus approach in response to worsening violence, deteriorating public services, and rising vulnerability among both Lebanese communities and refugees. With experienced staff, strong local partnerships, and active participation in humanitarian coordination mechanisms, CESVI is well-positioned to respond rapidly to Lebanon’s evolving humanitarian needs. The organisation can carry out rapid emergency needs assessments within 24-48 hours of the onset of a crisis, a capacity already activated as part of the current response to enable timely, targeted, and flexible assistance to affected populations. Additionally, teams based in Syria have been mobilised to support the response.
