UN warns of widening crisis as Israeli attacks displace 750,000 in Lebanon

"We're seeing large-scale movements into densely populated urban areas where shelter capacity is already overstretched. More than 120,000 people, including thousands of children, are now in 580 collective centres. These sites are overcrowded, with inadequate sanitation and insufficient essential supplies. These conditions heighten risk of harassment, sexual violence, exploitation, abuse and trafficking, particularly of course for women and girls."

"Mass displacement is accelerating across Lebanon as a result of the Israeli attacks, with more than 750,000 people now registered as displaced. Israel also has issued forced displacement orders for all of southern Lebanon, as well as the southern suburbs of the capital, Beirut, sowing chaos as thousands of families fled their homes under fear of attack."

Lebanon faces a humanitarian crisis as Israeli military operations have displaced more than 750,000 people. Mass displacement is accelerating, with populations moving into densely populated urban areas where shelter capacity is severely overstretched. Over 120,000 people, including thousands of children, occupy 580 collective centers that are overcrowded with inadequate sanitation and insufficient essential supplies. These conditions create heightened risks of harassment, sexual violence, exploitation, abuse, and trafficking, particularly affecting women and girls. Israeli attacks have killed at least 634 people and wounded 1,586 others. Forced displacement orders have been issued for southern Lebanon and southern Beirut suburbs, forcing families to flee their homes.
