Emergency Assistance for Displaced Communities affected by the conflict in Lebanon

Description

This project, under the Otto per Mille of the Waldensian Church of Italy grant, aims to provide critical emergency support to approximately 150 families internally displaced in the areas of Beirut and Mount Lebanon as result of the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict. These individuals are among the displaced populations affected by the Israeli/Hezbollah Sept/Dec 2024 conflict, which has strained public infrastructure and overwhelmed shelters, creating severe health and safety risks. CISP is providing 150 displaced families with basic items, such as hygiene kits, over a three month period to directly improve their living conditions.

Furthermore, CISP is carrying on rehabilitation and maintenance works in public schools that hosted displaced people before December 2024’s ceasefire, in order to guarantee full and suitable operation of the schools after IDPs left.
