- Road damage and insecurity are increasingly isolating communities.<\/li>\n
- Humanitarian access remains constrained, making it difficult to reach the most vulnerable populations.<\/li>\n
- Families are crowded into shelters or seeking safety wherever they can find it.<\/li>\n
- World Vision staff in Lebanon is working with local partners to deliver lifesaving aid, including food, shelter, and protection support for children and families displaced by the violence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
