Lebanon Response Plan 2026

The Lebanon Response Plan (LRP) 2026 is co-led by the Government of Lebanon, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, and the United Nations, under the Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HC), and is supported by a wide network of national and international partners. It builds on the 2024–2025 plan while integrating preparedness for a range of forward-looking scenarios given the dynamic environment. 

The plan aims to respond holistically to the multiple crises facing Lebanon including residual humanitarian needs in conflict affected areas as well as the ongoing Syrian displacement crisis through four Strategic Objectives (SOs): 

1. Provide immediate humanitarian assistance to vulnerable populations to ensure that critical needs are met. 
2. Enhance the protection of vulnerable populations. 
3. Support service provision through national systems, including strengthening rapid response capacities. 
4. Reinforce Lebanon’s economic, social, and environmental stability.

Based on needs identified through joint needs analyses, the LRP presents a prioritized, evidence-based appeal of $1.62 billion in 2026 to support coordinated interventions across nine sectors (education, food security and agriculture, health, nutrition, livelihoods, protection, shelter, water and sanitation). It addresses the needs of vulnerable people across all population groups, including Lebanese, displaced Syrians, Palestinian Refugees from Syria (PRS), Palestine Refugees in Lebanon (PRL), and migrants, and includes targeted interventions for households internally displaced by the 2024 hostilities. The LRP also extends support to Syrians returning to Syria, while continuing to assist those who remain in Lebanon and have not yet returned.
