Refugees with disabilities in Lebanon Needs & Challenges

Based on available data, the following can be confirmed:

１．The provision of assistance to persons with disabilities has been so far through the limited small-scale interventions of few INGOs and native CBOs, DPOs, NGOs and GoL entities (FPSC/arcenciel, HI, ICRC, MPDL/LPHU, WRF,…).

２．Assistance remains much needed and there are extensive unmet needs for specialized services (including prosthetics and orthotics, physical therapy, prescription eyeglasses, hearing aids, etc.).

３. A particular assistance gap relates to addressing needs of persons with intellectual disabilities and mental disorders.
