A Crisis By the Numbers

Figures sourced from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, as of March 22, 2026. The scale of need is staggering — and growing.

1,200+

Lives Lost since the escalation began on March 2 — including over 107 children among the dead, leaving families shattered across every region of the country.

2,500+

People Injured, including 331 children, placing immense strain on a deeply fragile healthcare system. 28 attacks on healthcare facilities have been recorded since March 2.

1.2M+

Internally Displaced Persons — around 19% of Lebanon's population, forcibly displaced. Displacement orders now cover ~14% of Lebanon's territory including large parts of the south, Bekaa, and Beirut's southern suburbs.

134K+

Sheltering in 636 Collective Sites, many of them public schools, in severely overcrowded conditions. The majority of displaced people are outside formal shelters, relying on host families or informal arrangements.

Where the Crisis
Strikes Hardest

The violence and displacement have not impacted the country equally.

Highest Casualties
Nabatieh Governorate

Currently reporting the highest casualty toll in the country, with communities devastated by sustained hostilities.

Mass Displacement
South Lebanon & Mount Lebanon

Primary origin points for mass displacement as hostilities impact areas south of the Litani River, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee.

Severe Structural Damage
Baalbek & The Bekaa Valley

Facing severe structural damage and mounting casualties from targeted operations in one of the country's most historically significant regions.

Critical Overcrowding
Beirut & Southern Suburbs

Reeling from consecutive displacement orders. Collective shelters in the capital report severe overcrowding, lacking essential sanitation and privacy.

A Comprehensive
Trauma Relief Program

The Art of Living and IAHV propose a holistic Healing, Trauma Relief, and Empowerment program for the victims of war in Lebanon. Our 8–12 hour programs are designed for both large populations and small groups.

We understand that our healing must be timely, culturally sensitive, and self-sustaining. Trained participants can sustain and integrate improvements through continued practice — without dependence on external resources.
