Lebanon emergency
An escalation of the conflict in February 2022 has turned an already volatile situation into a full-scale emergency.
People are fleeing their homes to try to find safety elsewhere within the country and are crossing borders into neighbouring countries. The situation remains extremely dangerous for anyone inside Ukraine and the vulnerability of those forced to flee is increasing rapidly, with more in need of immediate support.
In response to the massive humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing war in Ukraine, UNHCR is working with national authorities, UN agencies, displaced communities and local and international partners to provide urgently needed assistance.
Our teams are present inside Ukraine, in neighbouring countries and beyond to protect and assist people forced to flee.
