Lebanon is divided into eight muhafazat (provinces), which are subdivided into 26 caza or qadaa (counties). The
WHO
has a map of counties of Lebanon, and so does USAID .
The Localiban website
has a set of clickable maps of provinces and counties.

internal division into counties.
- HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. The
middle two letters identify the
province. For key, see "Administrative Subdivisions of Countries".
- Population: ~2004 estimates from Localiban. Some are
clearly too high.
- Area: Also from Localiban, but probably fairly accurate.
