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.

With GAC’s support, World Vision Canada will 1) improve the use of immediate life-saving primary healthcare services for conflict-affected and displaced populations and vulnerable host communities, and 2) increase the immediate use of an enhanced protective environment and systems?to respond to protection issues.

May 2026 – A rapidly growing Ebola disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda has prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency of international concern. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has launched a regional emergency appeal in response to the epidemic.

With the support of Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Red Cross Society will support the efforts of national Red Cross societies to provide lifesaving Ebola prevention and response, as outlined in the IFRC’s emergency appeal focusing on: health services including contract tracing and screening; infection prevention and control measures; sanitation and hygiene interventions; as well as community engagement.

The escalation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel in early March 2026 is deepening the existing humanitarian and socio-economic crisis, with the health system particularly impacted. In response, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) revised its Emergency Appeal to reach up to 1.2 million people with critical services, including emergency medical care, food, shelter, and clean water, until December 2027.

With $4 million in Global Affairs Canada’s support, the Canadian Red Cross is supporting the efforts of the Lebanese Red Cross to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance as outlined in the revised IFRC Emergency Appeal for Lebanon.
Project activities include: (1) delivering emergency medical services, including ambulance services, medical evacuations, and trauma stabilisation; (2) operating hospitals, field hospitals, medical points, clinics, and mobile medical units; (3) providing mental health and psychosocial support services; and (4) distributing emergency relief supplies, including food, water, hygiene items, and shelter assistance.
