"I took my son and daughter and we fled from our house just before it was destroyed in an Israeli strike last week. My daughter has epilepsy and when loud sounds occur, she has seizures. I feel numb nothing. I just want my daughter to be safe."
"Families already worn down by years of hardship are once again on the move, with thousands forced to sleep in cars and public spaces."
"According to the Lebanese health authorities, 486 people had been killed, and around 1300 injured by Monday. The UN on Tuesday put the death toll higher, saying that 570 people had been killed and more than 750,000 people had been displaced."
Lebanon faces a humanitarian catastrophe following renewed conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. The escalation began when Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to Iranian leadership developments. Israeli airstrikes have devastated Lebanese communities, killing at least 570 people and displacing over 750,000 civilians according to UN figures. Families are forced into makeshift shelters in cars and public spaces, with vulnerable populations including children with medical conditions suffering severe hardship. The conflict has shattered a fragile ceasefire that had been in place since November 2024, returning Lebanon to active warfare conditions and overwhelming humanitarian systems.
