Between March and May 2025, Lebanon witnessed municipal elections amid a tense and unstable context. CPT participants reported rising public safety concerns due to increased theft, firearms misuse, and ineffective law enforcement, which contributed to psychological distress and violent disputes. Syrian refugees faced heightened stigmatization, legal residency challenges, and reduced aid access, reinforcing fears of forced return. Economic hardships persisted, especially during Ramadan, with limited job opportunities for youth and insufficient medical and social support. Distrust in CSOs grew due to perceived aid bias and lack of transparency, though some psychosocial services were appreciated. The elections and new government generated mixed reactions—some participants were hopeful, while others distrusted the process, citing bribery and lack of transparency. In some areas, elections sparked armed tensions. Ongoing war impacts also caused fear and anxiety, with some IDPs hesitant to return home. Environmental concerns, particularly air pollution, added to the overall deterioration in living conditions.
