I. GENERAL PRESENTATION:
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has worked in Lebanon on several occasions within the last decades. The latest emergency response of MSF teams has been during 2006 summer war where MSF brought medical and humanitarian assistance in and around Sur, in Saida, Jezzine, Aley region, Beirut and Baalbeck. MSF teams provided relief items and medical care including psychological aid, supported health structures and sought access to populations trapped in conflict zones, the displaced and the returnees.
More recently MSF' headquarter in Switzerland launched a broader assessment in Lebanon in a view to fill in gaps in humanitarian response. Following a 4 months assessment, MSF Switzerland decided to start a mental health project in Burj al Barajneh neighbourhood in a view to expand its program in other regions.
