An estimated 100,000 people – mostly Lebanese and Syrians, have crossed from Lebanon into Syria since the escalation of hostilities.
People are arriving by car and on foot, carrying what they can.
Large crowds, including women, young children and babies, are waiting after spending the night outdoors in falling temperatures. Some carry fresh injuries from the recent bombardments.
UNHCR and partners are present at the border crossings on the Syrian side, providing food, water, blankets, as well as medical support and guiding them towards support available once in Syria.
The humanitarian situation in Syria remains dire; the 2023 earthquakes and the drawn-out conflict there have left critical infrastructure in tatters and millions in need of assistance.
UNHCR is responding to the needs of forcibly displaced people across Lebanon and Syria, coordinating closely with the authorities and other humanitarian organizations. Our teams are helping civilians who have fled the airstrikes, providing core relief items, shelter, health care and psychosocial support.
