This statement is dear to our hearts, as are our colleagues in Lebanon.

Quote from Dr Rachel Tolhurst, Reader at LSTM and Co-lead on Urban SHADE: “Marginalised urban people facing the health effects of extreme weather events have a right to appropriate healthcare and we aim to support both communities and service providers to realise this through collaboration and participatory approaches.”

"In sports, a playbook is a collection of strategies prepared in advance and then selected or adapted based on the opposing teams’ strengths. Strategies are developed by learning from past games and assessing team capacities, with extenuating circumstances and conditions (like a home or away game) also considered. Preparing for a pandemic requires a similar balance of planning and flexibility. While the specifics of the type of infectious diseases are rarely known ahead of time, we can learn from experience and develop strategies to mitigate uncertainties. Not every ‘play’ will be applicable to every pathogen or context; a playbook provides options that can be selected and adapted as needed. With this need to prepare for the unknown in mind, we have created this Pandemic Preparedness Playbook."

📢 #Webinar Since September 2024, the escalation of attacks by #Israel has forcibly displaced around 900,000 people in #Lebanon (of a total population of ~6 million total) and killed at least 2,000 people, including dozens of healthcare workers. These populations have moved to northern areas of Lebanon, to #Syria or elsewhere. Around 290,000 have left the country. As a result of Syria’s ongoing conflict, around 1.5 million Syrian refugees reside in Lebanon, of whom ~50% are children. Their situation is already harsh with 90% living in poverty and around 900,000 living in tented settlements.   ▶️ In this webinar, we bring together experts to discuss the current situation as it changes, its impact on Syrian refugees (and other vulnerable communities in Lebanon e.g. migrants, Palestinian refugees) with a focus on the health impacts.  𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 Dr Fadi Halabi, Multi-Aid Programs, Lebanon Dr Jasmin Lilian Diab, Director, Institute for Migration Studies, Lebanese American University Mais Omar, Women Now for Development – Lebanon
