War does not only take away homes.
It takes away routines, friendships, familiar streets, and the small freedoms that make children and young people feel safe.
For Mohamad, 18, displacement meant leaving behind the life he knew. Emergency cash assistance helps his family meet urgent needs, but his wish remains simple: to go back home.
Through the #NDA, @mosalebofficial, @EUinLebanon, @NLinLebanon, @iloarabstates, UNICEF and other donors are supporting persons with disabilities and their families with one-off emergency cash assistance of USD 100 per eligible household.

Went to see the great work that NGOs #Azahir and @DawaerNGO are doing in Tripoli & #NahrelBared camp to provide psychosocial support and safety to displaced & refugees living in very difficult circumstances. With help from @KNVB#WorldCoaches and NL Government
The southern suburbs of #Beirut (often referred to as 'Dahye') housed 850,000 people until the latest war broke out in March. Now only around 10% are left. Visited the area with the Union of Municipalities to get a better idea of the actual situation. Huge destruction

👉🏽Our institute held the second progress meeting of the Stormwater Management Strategy, represented by project coordinator @rouaalfares, bringing together partners to review the work completed so far and discuss the next steps toward the development of a comprehensive strategy for more integrated, sustainable, and climate-resilient stormwater management in Lebanon.
Funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Lebanon @NLinLebanon, the project is developed in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Water and in collaboration with @MSFEA_AUB
and @fas_aub at @AUB_Lebanon.
The meeting focused on institutional coordination, stakeholder engagement, technical inputs, and the development of practical recommendations adapted to Lebanon’s territorial and urban challenges.
Nearly 75 years ago, six European nations formed the nucleus of what is now the European Union. To do away with centuries of wars and conflicts, and bring peace, cooperation, stability and growth instead. Not always easy, but the EU is still going strong.
Happy #EuropeDay2026
The displacement & humanitarian crisis in Lebanon is far from over.
In the Bekaa, with Ambassador @ArnoutPauwels of Belgium 🇧🇪 and Ambassador @frank_mollen of the Netherlands 🇳🇱, we saw firsthand how vital their continuous support & solidarity is for communities in 🇱🇧.
Together with @UNHCRLebanon and @ArnoutPauwels we met today with the Governor of Bekaa & visited locations in the Bekaa where Lebanese and Syrians, displaced by the war, are finding shelter and help. Very impressive and moving to hear their stories and what they are going through
On 4 May, the Netherlands remembers the brave men and women who fell for our country. Commemoration ceremonies are held at home and abroad. In Lebanon, nine Dutch servicemen paid the ultimate price, serving with @UNIFIL_ . Today we rembered them and all other heroes #4mei
Together with @UNESCO, @MediaFreedomC and other partners, we strive to safeguard their safety and defend the essential right to press freedom. Read more via: https://t.co/FTmUWreZkn 2/2

Otd the Dutch celebrate the birthday of their King Willem-Alexander: street festivals and lots of fun. We usually try to copy that party atmosphere in Lebanon, but in the current situation we have decided to postpone King's Day. We still wish everyone Dutch a Gr8 #Koningsdag2026
Too many #journalistes have been targeted in Lebanon's recent conflicts. Under international law, journalists in conflict areas may not be attacked while doing their job. It's an important rule for any democratic society #compliance
