When Crisis Becomes Prolonged

Across the Middle East, conflict and instability have forced families to flee their homes, often multiple times. In Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, many displaced families live in overcrowded shelters or refugee camps with limited access to essential services. Years of disruption have weakened health systems, strained resources, and left households struggling to meet basic needs.

For families living in displacement, crisis is not a moment, it is a daily reality. Children grow up without stability, parents struggle to provide for their families, and communities face increasing pressure as resources become scarce.

From Emergency Relief to Sustained Humanitarian Support

In prolonged crises, humanitarian assistance must go beyond short-term response. Immediate relief is essential, but sustained support is critical to protect health, dignity, and stability over time.

By providing continued access to food, clean water, healthcare, shelter, and basic protection, support helps families endure extended displacement while reducing the risks of malnutrition, illness, and deepening poverty. This approach supports resilience at household and community level, helping people survive today while preserving hope for tomorrow.

Humanitarian Support May Include

• Emergency food assistance and nutrition support for displaced and vulnerable households

• Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene support in camps and informal settlements

• Shelter assistance and winterisation support for families living in unsafe conditions

• Medical aid and healthcare services for communities with limited access to care

• Protection and welfare support for children, women, and vulnerable individuals

• Community-based support services to strengthen wellbeing and resilience
