"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 has been drawn into the Middle East conflict following Hezbollah's attacks on Israel in response to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's killing. The escalation has created a severe humanitarian crisis, with Lebanese health authorities reporting 486 deaths and 1,300 injuries, while UN figures indicate 570 deaths and over 750,000 displaced persons. Israeli defense systems have limited civilian casualties in Israel, but Lebanese civilians face widespread destruction and displacement. Families are forced to live in cars and public spaces, compounding existing hardships. This conflict effectively ends a US-brokered ceasefire from November 2024 that had halted 11 months of skirmishes and two months of previous warfare.
