Amid escalating tensions in the region, more than half a million individuals have fled from Lebanon into Syria since September 23 due to intensified Israeli strikes in Lebanon. The Lebanon Disaster Risk Management Unit reported that out of the total number of refugees, 348,237 are Syrian citizens, while 156,505 are Lebanese citizens.
Authorities have identified at least 190,975 internally displaced individuals currently residing in approved shelters, although the actual figures are believed to be higher. The DRMU has implemented psychosocial support programs and protection measures for vulnerable groups such as children, women, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly within the shelters.
