With over 350 emergency team members in the region, Handicap International has reached over 56,000 beneficiaries to date.
Handicap International s initial intervention aimed at supporting persons with injuries and other extremely vulnerable groups (including persons with disabilities, elders, among others).

HI regional strategy
HI decided to develop and strengthen a regional strategy along 5 central points:
1.Disability and Vulnerability Focal Point (DVFP)
2.Global rehabilitation (Physical and PSS)
3.Basic Needs/ Livelihood
4.Inclusion
5.Risk Education Activities
Activitiesin Lebanon
The needsPost-surgery follow-upis almost non-existent. Persons with injuries, together with persons with disabilities, are presenting complications that, without appropriate rehabilitation care, can lead to permanent impairments and long-term disability.
Psychosocial distress: MHPSS is not appropriately addressed until now.
Basic needs coverage: Limited resources coupled with the challenging operational context jeopardize the adequate coverage of basic needs of conflict-affected populations in Lebanon.
Shelter and coping with winter season: The severe conditions in Lebanon during winter can brutally affect Syrian refugees living in ITS and poorly equipped houses.
HI responseDisability and Vulnerability Focal Point:
Identification and assessment of vulnerable persons including persons with injuries and/or disabilities.
Provision of various services depending on the need of the identified HH s
o Provision of out-patient rehabilitation sessions
o Provision of psychosocial support
