Between June and August 2025, Lebanon faced deepening socio-economic instability and insecurity, as reported by CPT participants across all regions. Economic hardship remained the most pressing concern, with rising prices, stagnant wages, and limited employment driving families into poverty. Many struggled to afford essential services like food, rent, and healthcare, while deteriorating public education led to increased school dropout and child labor. These pressures heightened psychological distress and, in some cases, gender-based violence, pushing some to consider emigration. Security concerns, including theft, youth drug abuse, and poor gun control, further worsened community safety. Participants also cited growing discrimination against migrant workers and minorities, alongside heightened hostility toward Syrian refugees, who faced stigmatization, legal restrictions, and reduced aid. The lingering trauma of the 2024 war continued to fuel fear and mistrust in authorities. Meanwhile, pollution and poor waste management exacerbated health risks, underscoring frustration with ineffective governance.
