The ongoing Lebanon-Israel conflict has escalated, with the Israeli military increasing operations against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. This intensification has displaced approximately 1.2 million Lebanese citizens from their homes.
Most of the displaced are seeking refuge in Beirut and northern regions, struggling to find shelter and basic necessities. Local non-profit organizations are working tirelessly to provide assistance, but they face significant challenges due to limited resources.
In Beirut, many residents have been rendered homeless. Dounia Khairallah Tawk, founder of a local humanitarian group, reported that some people are resorting to sleeping outdoors in forests, while others endure harsh conditions on the streets.
As the conflict enters its third week, the situation remains dire for those affected. There is an urgent need for support from the international community to address this growing humanitarian crisis.
