April 2026 – Lebanon is experiencing a sharp surge in humanitarian needs following the latest escalation of hostilities, which has driven large-scale displacement and intensified pressure on already fragile health and social support systems. The Lebanon Flash Appeal estimates 1.3 million people will be directly affected during the March–May 2026 response period, while WHO reports over 1 million self-registered internally displaced persons (IDPs), including many living in collective shelters. Intensified operations since early March have caused significant casualties and damage, including attacks affecting health workers, emergency medical services, and essential infrastructure, further threatening the continuity of life-saving and essential health services.

With GAC’s support, Oxfam-Québec will 1) increase equitable access to safe, appropriate, and gender-responsive WASH services and supplies for IDPs, and 2) reduce protection risk rates among conflict-affected people.

The Worker Retention Grant provides funding to employers with an approved and implemented Work-Sharing agreement. Employers can use this funding to provide a weekly income top-up to workers who have reduced hours and are taking training while receiving Work-Sharing Employment Insurance (EI) benefits. The WRG is designed to increase uptake of training for workers while on WS to improve resiliency during the adjustment period by, helping workers maintain employment while receiving a larger proportion of total income through the grant.
