Honored to meet @lbfirstlady Nehmat Aoun & @nclwgov. Women are often disproportionately affected by conflict, yet are at the heart of recovery& hope. Our conversation reinforced: when women actively participate, families & communities are stronger. UNHCR is proud to support this.

Displacement is more than a statistic; it's a lived reality for hundreds of thousands in 🇱🇧.

🔵"عدد النازحين" من "النهار" وUNHCR: دفاعاً عن الحق الإنساني
هذا العدد ثمرة شراكة بين "النهار" والمفوضية السامية للأمم المتحدة لشؤون اللاجئين (UNHCR)، إيماناً بأن سرد قصص النزوح ليس مجرد توثيق للحظة عابرة، بل دفاع عن حق الإنسان في أن يبقى في بيته، وأن يعيش بكرامة من دون امتهان.
إليكم أبرز مواد الملف:👇🏻

مفهوم "البيت" أمرٌ بديهي.
كالسرير الذي ننام عليه.
كطاولة المطبخ التي نجتمع حولها.
وأطفالنا الذين ينتظرون عودتنا عند عتبة الباب.
كذلك ذكرياتنا المعلّقة على الجدران.
لكن بالنسبة إلى أكثر من 1.2 مليون شخص في لبنان، لم تعد هذه التفاصيل من المسلّمات.
عندما يُجبر شخصٌ واحد من كل خمسة أشخاص على مغادرة موطنه، يختلّ كل ما اعتاد أن يكون في مكانه.
عدد النزوح (The Displaced Edition)
مبادرة أُطلقت لتجعل معاناة النزوح واقعًا يستحيل تجاهله.
في يوم اللاجئ العالمي، لنتضامن مع العائلات النازحة في لبنان، ولنُسهم في دعمها من خلال التبرع.

We take "home" for granted.
The bed we sleep in.
The kitchen table we gather around.
Our children waiting for us when we walk through the door.
Our memories hanging on our walls.
Yet, for more than 1.2 million people in Lebanon, these are no longer things to take for granted.
Because when 1 in 5 people are forced out of place, nothing stays in place.
THE DISPLACED EDITION. Created to make displacement impossible to ignore.
On World Refugee Day, let's stand together to support displaced families in Lebanon through giving.unhcr.org/lebanon/

Thousands flee Beirut’s southern suburbs after renewed Israeli strike threats.
Families are leaving by car, motorcycle, and on foot, carrying essentials. Many returning to shelters.
Fear and uncertainty are mounting.

4/4 we saw the toll attacks on essential infrastructure are having on civilians.
#Tyre Water Station should serve thousands, due to the severe damage only a small fraction of needs are being met.
Basic services must be protected and restored to allow ppl to stay and return

3/4 At #Tyre Public Secondary School, now a collective shelter, we met displaced families, some who have moved 4 to 5 times over the past two years.
Women clearly are carrying the heaviest burden… All spoke of their desire for peace, normality for themselves and their children.
Lisa Abou Khaled ليزا أبو خالد retweeted
2/4📍In #Tyre, met mayors, Head of Municipalities Union &DRR Unit leading the response under immense pressure.
Local authorities are closest to and central to supporting displaced families & those still trying to stay in their homes amid severely damaged services &capacities.

Deeply saddened by the killing of journalist Amal Khalil in south #Lebanon
Journalists are civilians & must be protected. Targeting civilians & obstructing aid are grave IHL violations. This must stop.
Sincere condolences to her family & wishing the injured a speedy recovery

With the 10-day ceasefire, hope is slowly returning in 🇱🇧
While some are cautiously attempting go back home, many are still waiting.
UNHCR continues to rehabilitate collective shelters hosting displaced families in 🇱🇧 improving living conditions for those who cannot return yet.
Lisa Abou Khaled ليزا أبو خالد retweeted
Hours after the ceasefire started, many displaced families began their journey back home, cautiously longing for lasting stability.
Others remain in displacement, waiting for more clarity on how the situation evolves.
Listen to what our Representative @KarolinaBilling said ⬇️
Lisa Abou Khaled ليزا أبو خالد retweeted
In Saida, after 3hrs on the road from Beirut 🇱🇧. Roads packed with families rushing to return, to see the state of their homes & villages after the ceasefire was announced after 46 days of intense hostilities.
So much hope to return home, from a situation of forced displacement.

“Lebanon has been known for its resilience. But resilience has its limits.”
