The humanitarian situation in Lebanon is rapidly deteriorating following the outbreak of armed hostilities in the country. Already, the conflict is estimated to have killed over 200 civilians and wounded more than 400 - approximately 30% of whom are children. It has destroyed significant portions of the country's infrastructure, including airports, roads, power plants, bridges, and fuel stations, disrupting the delivery of vital social services. 400,000 people are believed to have fled their homes. Most of them have sought refuge with families and friends living in safer areas, but up to 40,000 are believed to have taken shelter in unused school buildings. 70 schools have been occupied at the time of this report. These figures are likely to increase in the coming days and weeks.
This document provides an overview of the critical issues currently affecting children and women, and outlines UNICEF's estimated funding requirements to cover their immediate needs over the coming four months (18 July - 18 November 2006). These requirements are likely to be revised in the coming weeks, as more information becomes available and longer-term strategies are developed. UNICEF will participate in any consolidated appeal prepared by the UN system, incorporating any such changes to its funding needs.
