Sidon Municipality’s sports affairs committee followed a series of recreational and sports activities for displaced children living in shelter centres in the city in May 2026.
The program involved specialist coaches and volunteers and reached a mix of official and community-run sites, including schools and social institutions being used as shelters.
In displacement settings, structured sport can restore routine, safe movement and social contact. Programs involving children also need safeguarding procedures, appropriate supervision and continuity beyond one-off events.
