The WFP Lebanon Fuel Operation – WASH Sector Support report provides an overview of WFP’s support to water facilities in Lebanon through the provision of fuel to ensure their operational continuity.
In mid-2021, the fuel and electricity shortages that Lebanon faced as a consequence of the economic crisis became critical, threatening the provision of essential services. Many hospitals and public water supply and wastewater treatment facilities were forced to reduce services, jeopardizing public health and safety amidst the economic crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. In response, WFP supported WASH facilities through fuel provision to ensure continuity of their operation and that people continue to have access to their services.
