According to the UNHCR, the mass displacement of people into war-torn Syria began on September 23 as Israel's airstrikes extended to Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah. The attacks have resulted in significant casualties, with over 700 people killed in Lebanon, including medical personnel. The humanitarian crisis is exacerbated as the incoming individuals arrive traumatized and in urgent need of assistance, entering a nation already plagued by its own economic collapse and violence for over a decade.
Filippo Grandi from the UNHCR stated that around 100,000 people have crossed into Syria fleeing Israeli airstrikes. The recent surge of over 70,000 people in two days highlights the urgent humanitarian crisis.
