## Prediction

Within a week, Lebanon is likely to see a marked increase in internally displaced persons (IDPs) from southern evacuation zones and parts of Western Beqaa, straining host communities and limited state services. Damage to roads, power lines, and local health centers from Israeli strikes will complicate aid delivery and civilian movement. International NGOs and UN agencies will ramp up contingency planning and limited-scale operations, but chronic funding gaps and political paralysis in Beirut will limit the response.

## Drivers

- Current evacuations of nine villages and sustained IDF strike campaign
- Trend indicating systematic infrastructure punishment on Lebanon front
- Lebanon’s pre-existing economic collapse and weak public services
