In response to the ongoing escalation in Lebanon, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is urgently seeking US$ 12.3 million to fund its priority emergency response over the next 90 days. These funds are required to address the immediate needs for food, shelter, health, protection, water and sanitation services for up to 10,000 individuals seeking safety in UNRWA-managed collective emergency shelters in Lebanon, and for up to 63,000 vulnerable conflict-impacted Palestine Refugees living outside of these shelters. In providing assistance, UNRWA will focus on serving the needs of vulnerable groups, including women, children, persons with disabilities, persons with fragile legal status, and the elderly.
