HIGHLIGHTS Hostilities continued despite the ceasefire extension announcement, with continued airstrikes and displacement orders affecting at least 14 new localities. Hostilities have killed at least 3,089 people and injured 9,379 people since 2 March. Civilians continue to be displaced from their homes, placing an increased strain on collective shelters and host communities. Health assessments across 15 affected districts estimate that 60–80 per cent of households are unable to afford health services. Another airstrike damages the Tibnine Hospital in South Lebanon on 19 May. More than 618,000 people received emergency multi-purpose cash assistance through Government-led response activities since March. Humanitarian partners have provided 10.3 million hot and cold meals for displaced families and vulnerable households to date. The Lebanon Flash Appeal is 54 per cent funded. A revised extension of the appeal will be launched during the first week of June 2026. SITUATION OVERVIEW Airstrikes across the southern governorates during the reporting period have continued, resulting in widespread casualties, displacement, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Public Health, 3,089 people have been killed since 2 March 2026, of whom 296 were women and 216 were children. An additional 9,379 people have reportedly been injured, 1142 of whom are women and 845 are children. Displacement levels rose due to ongoing hostilities and displacement orders. During the reporting period, two renewed displacement orders were issued for 14 localities extending to Nabatiyeh city for the first time since the escalation started on 2 March, triggering new population movements. As of 21 May 2026, approximately 33,897 families (129,729 people) were reported as displaced in 635 collective shelters nationwide, reflecting a clear upward trend in national displacement numbers. Beirut, Mount Lebanon, South Lebanon, and North Lebanon are experiencing the greatest number of displaced people hosted, with growing congestion reported in shelters and an increased reliance on host communities and informal arrangements. Displacement patterns remain highly fluid, with repeated cycles of departures and returns complicating data tracking and operational planning as humanitarian needs continue to evolve unevenly across governorates, requiring ongoing adaptation of shelter and coordination responses. Returns remain limited due to insecurity, damaged housing, lack of services, and risks associated with unexploded ordnance (UXO). Attacks on health care professionals continue. On 19 May, another airstrike significantly damaged Tibnine hospital in Bint Jbeil District of South Lebanon Governorate, resulting in nine people injured, seven of whom are hospital staff. These incidents underscore the continued vulnerability of essential services and the risks faced by frontline responders, despite the ceasefire extension announcement. On 21 May, the 79th World Health Assembly recognized the severe health emergency in Lebanon caused by ongoing hostilities, expressed concerns over the devastating impact on civilians and the Lebanese health system, including attacks on health facilities and workers, closure of hospitals and primary care facilities, disruption of essential services such as maternal care, immunization, and non-communicable disease (NCD) management, and a critical shortage of medicines. It highlighted the urgent need for mental health support for affected populations and displaced persons and reaffirmed the obligation of all parties to protect health care under international humanitarian law. Funding constraints remain a major challenge to sustaining life‑saving assistance. As of 21 May, the Lebanon Flash Appeal calling for US$308 million is 54 per cent funded with US$166 million received. The significant funding gap is limiting the capacity of humanitarian partners to maintain essential services and provide life-saving assistance. Critical sectors, including Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), continue to face the risk of service interruptions starting in June 2026 if additional funding is not urgently provided.
