Considering that almost 90 per cent of PRS are living under the poverty line and about 95 per cent are food insecure, UNRWA will target 28,800 PRS (8,700 families) with cash assistance, representing the total estimated PRS population in Lebanon in 2019, based on the results of the verification exercise conducted in July and August 2018. In 2019, targeted PRS families will continue to receive a monthly multipurpose cash grant worth US$ 100 for each family and a monthly food assistance cash grant of US$ 27 per person to cover food costs. Both the multipurpose and food assistance cash grants will be distributed during 12 rounds per year. Alongside these grants, special provisions will be made for the winter, which is harsh in Lebanon, especially in the high elevations in the Beqaa, which experience a significant drop in temperature, as well as rain and several snowstorms between November and March.
