In 2025, Lebanon’s Protection Sector confronted complex challenges following the fall of the Syrian government in late 2024 and the cessation of hostilities in Lebanon. These shifts led to significant movements of displaced Syrians and IDPs, increased returns to Syria, and a growing influx of minority groups to North Lebanon and Baalbek-El Hermel. Despite these developments, protection needs remain critical, especially in insecure border regions and among groups facing discrimination, social exclusion, or barriers to services—including vulnerable Lebanese, displaced populations, Palestinian refugees, migrant workers, persons with disabilities, older persons, and female-headed households. General Protection trends are monitored through five core indicators that define the protection situation across all population groups, namely: lack of legal residency; perception of safety when walking alone; access to services; exploitation; and security incidents in affected areas, such as airstrikes and shelling.
