P008564001: January 2020 – With the Syria crisis in its ninth year, Lebanon continues to host over an estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees, most of whom reside in host communities. As personal savings erode and needs outpace available international assistance, over 70% of Syrian refugees in Lebanon now live below the poverty line. Hosting the highest per capita concentration of refugees worldwide has strained the abilities of local communities to provide essential services, and threatens a delicate balance of peace in the country.

With GAC’s support, Oxfam-Québec is providing basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and protection services to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese. Project activities include: (1) providing new and rehabilitated sanitation facilities; (2) providing training to community hygiene volunteers, and hygiene kits; (3) providing protection services to refugees in host communities; and (4) designing and implementing community based protection groups.

January 2020 – In 2020, there are an estimated 4.1 million Iraqis in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 1.77 million are in acute need. Out of the 6 million displaced people during the conflict against Daesh, more than 1.4 million people remain internally displaced. Those directly affected by the conflict against Daesh, particularly those who were displaced and whose lives and livelihoods were uprooted and destroyed, continue to require humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs.
