Humanitarian needs in Lebanon have reached unprecedented levels, with over 3,800 fatalities, 15,800 injuries, and nearly 900,000 people displaced internally due to ongoing conflict, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The situation has prompted urgent calls for swift and unhindered access to aid for those affected. On the first day of a ceasefire, the UN Refugee Agency successfully delivered emergency supplies to over 3,000 individuals in Baalbek, including essential items like blankets and mattresses. Since September 23, the UNHCR has distributed more than 330,000 relief items to over 190,000 people.

In the occupied Palestinian territories, the World Food Program reported that all bakeries in Central Gaza have closed due to severe supply shortages, exacerbating the already dire nutritional situation. OCHA highlighted that two-thirds of children admitted for outpatient treatment of acute malnutrition in the past five months were recorded recently. Despite the challenges, a new stabilization center for treating severe acute malnutrition has opened in Der Albala, although only four such centers are operational in Gaza.

The humanitarian crisis extends to Syria, where ongoing hostilities have led to the suspension of all humanitarian operations following an air attack that killed a volunteer and injured civilians. The UN has called for the protection of civilians and humanitarian workers amid escalating violence, particularly in Idlib, where children have been killed in recent shelling.

In Ukraine, the situation remains critical as hostilities continue to inflict civilian casualties and damage infrastructure. The UN reported that attacks have persisted, with local authorities confirming casualties from recent strikes. Humanitarian efforts are ongoing, with supplies being delivered to frontline communities.

Chad is facing challenges due to an influx of refugees from Sudan, prompting discussions between humanitarian officials and the government about the situation. Meanwhile, in Sudan, fighting continues to displace civilians, with limited access to humanitarian assistance reported in besieged areas.

In South Sudan, the head of the UN peacekeeping mission urged state governors to foster an open civic space in preparation for upcoming elections, emphasizing the need for basic services and security improvements.

The humanitarian crisis in Myanmar is also worsening, with over 3.4 million people internally displaced. Despite efforts to provide assistance, severe underfunding has hindered the response, with the 2024 humanitarian needs plan only one-third funded.

As the international community grapples with these crises, urgent appeals for funding and support continue to be made to address the escalating humanitarian needs across these regions.
