Salāmah: responding to the crisis in Lebanon
We’re equipping local organisations with skills and knowledge to provide safe, effective, and suitable support to the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon
“We continue to witness an alarming level of human costs and humanitarian consequences of conflict in Lebanon”
Lebanon has experienced its most significant conflict escalation since the 2006 Lebanon War, resulting in 3,050 fatalities since October 2023, including 190 children and 600 women. Imran Riza, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon has stated that “We continue to witness an alarming level of human costs and humanitarian consequences of conflict in Lebanon”. This escalation has resulted in mass displacement of over 1 million people, many of which have displaced multiple times since October 2023. This in turn has led to an increase in for basic humanitarian needs, for both displaced communities – including IDPs and refugees – and host-communities. The deteriorating security situation is putting hundreds of thousands of people’s lives at risk, including first line responders.

Learning Needs Assessment for Lebanon Crisis response
This Learning Needs Assessment identifies capacity gaps and learning needs amongst humanitarian responders in Lebanon.
Understanding these gaps is essential for developing targeted training programmes, that can enhance the skills and knowledge required to address the complex challenges posed by the recent crisis.
The LNA also assessed the existing strengths among humanitarians, so RedR can recommend the best ways that humanitarian partners can leverage best these capabilities.

What does the name Salāmah mean?
The project name, Salāmah, is an acronym for Security Adaption in Lebanon for Adequate Management & Advanced Humanitarianism in Lebanon. Salāmah means safety in Arabic, which is what we aim to achieve through this project. Through local language, supporting local organisations, and equipping local responders, we can ensure that local humanitarians are safe and secure, and able to support the people in Lebanon affected by this crisis.
We’re working to understand and address learning needs, remove roadblocks, and empower individuals to provide the best possible support to people affected by the crisis in Lebanon.
