Executive Summary
The escalation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel and exchange of fire and aerial bombardment of
civilian infrastructure since the March 2nd, 2026, has again displaced over an estimated million people from
the South of Lebanon, the southern suburbs of Beirut, and areas in the Bekaa-Hermel governorate. In the
critical early phases of yet another emergency response, CAMEALEON has developed the following
recommendations that draw on research and learning from the 2024-25 response in Lebanon, and ongoing
research into humanitarian cash programming and social protection systems in emergencies.
