War in Lebanon: Aid groups struggle to offer food, shelter

11 Nov 2023  |  www.dw.com  |  English  |  War in Lebanon

Aid groups in Lebanon, including Zaituna Association, Beity Association, and Amel Association, are struggling to provide food and shelter to displaced people amid the ongoing war with Israel. The conflict has exacerbated Lebanon's economic crisis, limiting the capacity of NGOs to meet basic needs. Despite financial constraints, these organizations continue to offer essential services, with some turning hostels into shelters and others relying on international donations. The UNHCR and other international bodies are attempting to raise funds to support the displaced, but current aid covers only a fraction of the required costs. The humanitarian crisis is further compounded by the emotional toll on aid workers, many of whom are displaced themselves.

Will Lebanon’s Army Defend Lebanon?

09 Oct 2024  |  Foreign Policy  |  English  |  War in Lebanon

Lebanon faces a critical decision as its national military, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), remains on the sidelines amid escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The LAF's potential involvement is complicated by its reliance on Western support, particularly from the United States, and the risk of being perceived as supporting Hezbollah, a group considered a terrorist organization by many Western nations. The LAF's historical stance of neutrality and internal stability is challenged by the current crisis, with experts suggesting that its role may be more significant in post-conflict mediation. The conflict has displaced over a million Lebanese, exacerbating existing sectarian tensions and economic hardships. The political future of Lebanon, including the potential presidency of LAF commander Joseph Aoun, may hinge on the military's actions during this period.
