700 vulnerable families , i.e the equivalent of 3.500 individuals (Syrian and Palestinian refugees from Syria, as well as Lebanese host community members ) will be provided with basic livelihood provisions:
- food parcels,
- hygiene kits as well as
- non-food items, including blankets, matresses, shoes, bedding supplies.
Moreover, the capacities of 60 CLMC staff on child protection, specifically in humanitarian crises, will be increased and their awareness on this issue is raised:
- staff of CLMC will be counselled on child protection issues,
- information sessions for CLMC staff will be held on child protection issues.
This project is carried out in Bekaa Valley (Taalabaya, Zahle, Baalbek), Tripoli, Beirut, and Mount Lebanon and complements the overall emergency response led in favor of populations affected by the Syria crisis.
