March 11, 2026
During the first week of Anera’s emergency response in Lebanon, more than 43,792 people, including over 12,000 children, received emergency assistance through distributions in collective shelters and affected communities. Support included beddings, mattresses, hygiene kits, bottled water, and ready-to-eat food parcels to help families meet their most immediate needs.
March 10, 2026
Today in Akkar, we distributed 12 mattresses to individuals at Halba Official Vocational School. In the coming days, we will continue more distributions to support people staying in collective shelters.
In Saida, South Lebanon, UNICEF in partnership with Anera distributed 250 female hygiene kits, including diapers and battery-powered lights, to displaced families. Access to hygiene supplies is essential for dignity and health, while portable lights help families feel safer during the night.
As displacement continues to grow, these small but essential items can make a meaningful difference for families facing the first difficult days of displacement.

To meet the ongoing needs of displaced families in the Saida area, our team in the south today distributed:

- 539 water packs to public shelters at Ghazieh Secondary School, Granada Hotel, Anqoun Intermediate School, Anqoun Secondary School, Tabbaya School, Khiraj Bissariyeh School, Ain Al-Hilweh School and Kfar Hatta School.

In response to a shortage of hot meals for iftar at Al Zahraa School Shelter in Aicha Bakkar, our team mobilized today to distribute 18 ready-to-eat parcels to displaced families. This effort is part of our Ramadan project, supporting vulnerable families during the holy month.
March 6, 2026
Today, we distributed 371 ready-to-eat food parcels to displaced people in public shelters across Aley, Bhamdoun, Sawfar, and Bchamoun in Mount Lebanon. Each parcel provides enough food for a family of five, supporting around 1,855 internally displaced people for two weeks.
And in Saida and Nabatieh this morning, we delivered 1,350 packs of bottled drinking water to displaced families.
March 5, 2026
Following a mass displacement this evening, we undertook an emergency intervention tonight to provide bedding kits to families in Rashaya, Rafid, Ezzeh, and Kawkaba Schools. The team provided mattresses, pillows, and blankets to 100 people who were displaced from their homes tonight due to the attacks.
March 4, 2026
Anera teams in Saida distributed 752 hygiene kits designed for families on the move and 502 packs of bottled water. In Tyre, our teams delivered 820 packs of bottled water.
March 3, 2026
Anera released an official response to the escalating crisis in the Middle East.
Our teams distributed roughly 300 sleeping bags and 1,200 winter clothing kits in Dekweneh, Beirut and another 50 sleeping bags as well as 150 mattresses in Marounieh, South Lebanon.
March 2, 2026
The Anera team distributed 994 hygiene kits and 5,964 water bottles across 8 shelters in Saida.
February 28-March 1, 2026
The U.S. and Israel began launching coordinated military strikes against multiple targets in Iran, including strategic and military infrastructure in cities such as Tehran and others. In response, Iran has launched missile attacks towards Israel and reportedly targeted US military assets in several Gulf states, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq and the UAE. Explosions and heightened alert levels have been reported in multiple locations across the region including Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan.
Anera is closely monitoring the escalating crisis, which has already caused deaths, displacement, movement restrictions and heightened public concern. Military activity and closures are affecting daily life for civilians and humanitarian workers alike. Anera is taking active steps to protect staff and adapt operations to sustain essential services for communities in need.
In Lebanon, airstrikes have forced many residents to flee. Anera’s staff in affected areas successfully evacuated. All personnel are safe.
Our teams are continuing in assisting Ramadan distributions in Lebanon. The situation remains fluid. Anera will continue to monitor developments closely, prioritizing staff safety while sustaining life-saving support for communities across the region.
