In the midst of escalating conflict with Israel, Lebanon is facing a dire humanitarian crisis. According to a report from FRANCE 24’s Rawad Taha, nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced as a result of the violence. The situation is particularly dire in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut, where most residents have been forced to evacuate.
Evacuation shelters, including schools, are now overcrowded with displaced individuals seeking refuge from the ongoing attacks. Taha describes the situation as “very catastrophic,” especially for those who have been unable to find shelter and are left sleeping on the streets.
The escalating conflict has left many Lebanese citizens in a state of fear and uncertainty, with no end in sight to the violence. The international community must take action to help alleviate the suffering of those affected by this crisis before the situation worsens even further.
