"People are arriving with nothing after being forced to abandon their homes. Their immediate needs must be addressed urgently.
Our priority is ensuring their safety and providing shelter – whether through temporary accommodation in shelters, hotels, or with host families – and ensuring security, especially for vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly.
— Malak, ActionAid Partner in West Bekaa Valley
The protection of women and girls is a priority for ActionAid.
