What we do

DRC Lebanon’s focus is to improve the protective environment and the living conditions of displacement-affected populations, as well as contributing to the achievement of durable solutions.

DRC has been delivering humanitarian programming in response to various humanitarian crises in Lebanon since 2004, working with Palestinian, Iraqi and Syrian refugees, but also with vulnerable Lebanese host populations, including those affected by the Beirut Port explosion in 2020.

DRC implements a multi-sectoral humanitarian response in Lebanon and is present across the country, particularly in vulnerable areas that are home to the highest concentrations of Syrian refugees.

These areas include North Lebanon, Akkar Governorate, Central, West and North Bekaa, in conjunction with local partners.
