Lebanon

Our approach
Description of the mission

Première Urgence Internationale provides support to vulnerable populations in Lebanon, including Syrian and Palestinian refugees, internally displaced people and the host population. This approach identifies and understands the needs of crisis-affected people, considering all dimensions of the problem to propose effective solutions with lasting impact.

Moreover, our teams aim to reduce tensions between communities and to provide assistance to vulnerable local populations affected by the massive influx of refugees.

Since the start of hostilities on the border with Israel as soon as October 2023, Première Urgence Internationale has been providing much needed assistance to people affected by the conflict and internally displaced people following the bombing of villages.

Première Urgence Internationale
in action

Present in the country since 1996, our mission aims at tackling the country’s chronic underdevelopment. Strengthening the healthcare system is therefore the first priority.  Activities include: delivering subsidized services at primary healthcare center and hospital levels, supplying medical equipment, training staff, rehabilitating health centers, particularly in terms of access to water, increasing the number of primary and mental health consultations, strengthening the health information system. Particular attention is paid to children and pregnant or lactating women.

The second part of PUI’s action focuses on the rehabilitation of housing or shelters, rent assistance and the protection of vulnerable populations through the provision of case management and cash assistance.
