Lebanon: Humanitarian needs remain acute amid continued uncertainty
For returning families, functioning water networks, health-care facilities and other essential services are fundamental to making their return sustainable.
The ICRC strengthened access to essential water and health services across affected areas by repairing and rehabilitating pumping stations, boreholes and water networks; installing and donating pumps, generators, solar systems and other critical equipment; and delivering more than 135,000 litres of fuel to 70 water stations in the south.
The ICRC also supported water establishments by maintaining 41 vehicles, providing essential equipment and tools, and facilitating access for technical teams to carry out urgent repairs. In the health sector, the ICRC helped maintain the continuity of hospital services by delivering nearly 240,000 litres of fuel, as well as oxygen, LPG and water; providing generators, maintenance materials and other essential supplies; carrying out urgent maintenance and repairs, including to conflict-related damage; and improving hospital infrastructure through the installation of cold storage and storage facilities, solar systems. The ICRC further supported municipalities and the Lebanese Red Cross by providing search and rescue equipment, fuel and solar lamps, and improving water and sanitation systems in six collective shelters.
Together with the South Lebanon Water Establishment, the ICRC built a remote monitoring and operation centre for pumping stations serving southern Lebanon. That system enables engineers to remotely monitor and operate connected water stations, receive real-time alerts and respond more quickly to equipment failures, leaks and power cuts. By improving the management of the network, the system helps strengthen the reliability of water services for communities across southern Lebanon.
