783 people, including women and children, have tragically lost their lives due to the ongoing Israeli raids on Lebanon from Monday until Saturday morning. The violence has also resulted in approximately 2,312 injuries and the displacement of nearly 98,800 individuals, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Lebanon has reported that humanitarian needs have reached unprecedented levels due to the scale of the violence and displacement. Many humanitarian workers have been forced to evacuate, creating a significant gap in the response efforts necessary to assist those affected.
UNICEF has raised alarms over the catastrophic situation in Lebanon, emphasizing that children are disproportionately affected by the violence. With tens of thousands of families displaced overnight, the organization is mobilizing resources to provide essential supplies, medical care, and psychosocial support to those in need.
- The ongoing conflict has led to widespread aerial targeting of homes and civilian infrastructure, which has resulted in the destruction of entire families and communities. The United Nations has called for urgent measures to protect civilians and meet their basic needs, regardless of whether they choose to flee or stay in their homes.
- Humanitarian agencies are facing logistical challenges in delivering aid due to the ongoing hostilities, which have hindered their ability to distribute essential supplies to those in need. As the situation continues to escalate, the international community is urged to provide immediate support to alleviate the suffering of the Lebanese people.
