"UNHCR's Lebanon representative Karolina Lindholm Billing stated that the situation remains extremely worrying, emphasizing that the risk of a humanitarian catastrophe is real as displacement numbers continue to rise."
"Lindholm Billing noted that the already overstretched shelter system in Lebanon is struggling to meet the needs of families displaced by the ongoing conflict, highlighting the dire conditions they face."
"The families are living in constant fear, and the psychological toll, particularly on children, will last far beyond this current escalation, indicating a long-term impact on the population."
"Recent strikes have hit central Beirut, including densely populated neighborhoods where many people had sought safety in collective shelters, illustrating the widespread danger faced by civilians."
The UN Refugee Agency warns of a humanitarian catastrophe in Lebanon due to Israel's ongoing bombardment and ground invasion. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced since early March, affecting regions from southern Lebanon to Beirut. The shelter system is overwhelmed, struggling to accommodate the rising number of displaced families. Recent strikes have targeted central Beirut, where many sought refuge. The psychological impact on children and families is significant, with fears persisting beyond the current conflict.
