These include the steady collapse of Lebanons economic and political systems, prolonged and restrictive COVID-19 lockdowns, and the devastating Beirut Port explosion in August 2020. Staff have also faced repeated internal restructuring processes and consistently high workloads, particularly in relation to the protracted Syria refugee response. The impact of abrupt funding cuts has been especially acute, often resulting in reduced staffing and resources while core responsibilities persistplacing even greater pressure on Oxfam personnel.
