About the Emergency Response Plan (ERP)
The humanitarian community in Lebanon (UN agencies and NGOs) have launched in early August a 12-months Emergency Response Plan to provide life-saving support to 1.1 million of the most vulnerable Lebanese and migrants affected by the ongoing crisis and facilitate the continuation of humanitarian programs for all affected populations.
The Plan, costed at US$383 million, complements UNRWA and the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) programmes for Syrian and Palestine refugees, and the communities hosting them.
