Context
Lebanon has seen a series of exceptionally severe and compounded crises over the past two years, including the Beirut port explosion, the COVID-19 pandemic, financial and economic collapse and political gridlock. These have resulted in high inflation, rising unemployment and poverty rates and have seriously affected the operation of public and private institutions. The severe economic crisis has led to nationwide shortages of fuel, water and electricity, which have greatly impacted all aspects of life and, importantly, the country’s infrastructure.
