Our programs
Since the beginning of the crisis in Syria on March 2011, the Emergency and Refugee Department has reached an estimated 500,000 refugees fleeing conflict in Syria, Iraq, and other countries. The primary intervention sectors needed are Protection, Basic Assistance, Health, Education and Social Cohesion.
They are in-line with the “Reform, Recovery & Reconstruction Framework” (3RF), a continuation to the Beirut Port Explosions response of 2020 (Beirut Blast).
Caritas is also an implementing partner for OCHA under the Emergency Response Plan (ERP), born from the wombs of the Economic Crisis/Covid response.
