According to UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, approximately 400,000 children are among the 1.2 million people displaced due to the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. The situation is dire, with nearly 190,000 individuals seeking refuge in makeshift shelters, primarily in public schools. Many others are forced to find shelter wherever they can, including beachfronts and streets.

UNICEF has highlighted the devastating impact of the conflict on children, with 100 fatalities and over 800 injuries reported in the past three weeks alone. As temperatures drop, concerns about the well-being of displaced families, especially children, are mounting.
