Lebanon Faces Humanitarian Catastrophe Amid Intensified Conflict with Israel
As the war between Israel and Hezbollah escalates, Lebanon is plunged into a devastating humanitarian crisis, displacing over a million civilians and leaving many trapped in conflict zones. Reports from the ground reveal that Christian villagers in southern Lebanon feel particularly vulnerable, caught in the crossfire as Israeli airstrikes intensify. The UN warns of an impending food crisis, with rising hunger levels and concerns over possible disease outbreaks due to the shutdown of hospitals. Lebanese citizens are stepping up to support the displaced, filling the void left by a struggling state. Humanitarian organizations are calling for urgent aid and safe locations for those fleeing the violence, as the situation continues to deteriorate and the international community looks on.
