UNFPA Situation Report: Lebanon Crisis (1 - 15 May 2026)

Country: Lebanon Source: United Nations Population Fund Please refer to the attached file. The humanitarian situation in Lebanon remains highly volatile, with continued airstrikes, hostilities, and renewed displacement. Despite the 17 April ceasefire, which was extended for an additional 45 days on 15 May, the intensity of hostilities increased by nearly 40 per cent during the post-ceasefire period. Fluid population movements continue, with renewed displacement orders affecting 27 localities in southern Lebanon. Since 2 March 2026, 2,951 people are reported to have been killed and 8,988 injured. The situation remains fluid, with potential for rapid escalation, underscoring the urgent need for increased humanitarian and health sector support. UNFPA has reached more than 100,000 displaced people with sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence (GBV) services since the start of the crisis. This was achieved through support to 55 health facilities, nine mobile medical units, 22 mobile GBV teams, and 11 women and girls’ safe spaces serving 200 collective shelters and host communities. The UNFPA Flash Appeal for US $12 million remains severely underfunded, with only US $2.9 million mobilized to date. If more funding does not become available, nearly 90,000 women and girls will lose access to life-saving sexual and reproductive health and protection services within the next six months.
