Today marks one year since the escalation of hostilities erupted across Lebanon in September 2024, following almost a year of violence on the southern border that began on October 8, 2023.
Since June of this year alone, the organisation has suffered three serious incidents that have put the lives of its humanitarian staff in Gaza and the West Bank at risk.
The planned military incursion in Gaza City threatens devastating consequences for a population already weakened by hunger, loss, and repeated displacement.
At least 150,000 people remain without running water across the South of Lebanon since the beginning of the conflict in Lebanon in October 2023, according to a report from Action Against Hunger and Insecurity Insight.
Following the escalation in October 2024, thousands of people in Lebanon were confronted with a new and harsh reality. Action Against Hunger and Amel International, with the support of the CDCS, are supporting them.
ACF has not endorsed (and will not endorse), nor agreed to collaborate with any mechanism that does not comply with fundamental humanitarian principles.
Humanitarian organisations are guided by humanitarian principles: humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence. Only work under these principles guarantees support to the civilian population without discrimination.
Despite a ceasefire agreement six months ago in November 2024 in Lebanon, military activity remains intense. More than a million people go hungry in Lebanon amid instability.
