Description
Recent data on population movements due to conflict and disasters in Lebanon, covering the past 180 days, is available from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). This data focuses on internally displaced persons (IDPs), defined by the 1998 Guiding Principles as individuals or groups who are forced to flee their homes due to armed conflict, violence, human rights violations, or natural and man-made disasters, without crossing international borders. The IDMC collects preliminary estimates of internal displacement through its Event Data, based on daily updates from various sources. These updates provide early assessments of new displacements as they occur. While these estimates are continuously revised, the validated and final figures are available through the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).
