MSF Emergency Response in Lebanon
Last updated: April 15, 2026
Operationally, MSF rapidly launched a nationwide emergency response.
In the first days of the escalation, MSF teams swiftly began distribution of essential relief items, like blankets, mattresses, hygiene kits, and drinking water to affected people and shelters. As of 14 April, MSF has deployed 23 mobile clinics in the south, in Mount Lebanon, Beirut, Bekaa, and the north.
While we scale up support to hospitals and Primary Health Care Centres (medical donations, fuel, direct trauma interventions, etc), our teams have also launched a mental health helpline to support distressed individuals in remote/hard-to-access areas.
To reach people in Nabatiyeh who have stayed in their homes despite bombardment and evacuation orders—and who still need access to care—, as well as to support local authorities and organizations, MSF launched a localized telemedicine service. Through it, patients receive medications via an ambulatory service, with follow-up consultations conducted by MSF doctors via phone.
