African Migrants Stranded in Lebanon Amid Ongoing Conflict
As the conflict in Lebanon escalates, thousands of African migrant workers and students find themselves in perilous situations, abandoned by their employers and struggling for safety. Many report being homeless and without shelter as Israeli attacks intensify. There are urgent calls for evacuations from Kenya and Nigeria, as the plight of migrants, particularly from Sierra Leone, has drawn international attention. The UN has highlighted the challenges faced by domestic workers, while desperate appeals for help from those trapped in Lebanon resonate across social media. Despite government initiatives to register citizens for evacuation, many remain stuck in limbo, fearing for their lives in a rapidly deteriorating environment.
