Families escaping the escalating conflict in Lebanon are seeking safety in Syria as Israel intensifies its attacks on southern and eastern Lebanon. Thousands of Lebanese and Syrian families have already made the journey to Syria, with more expected to follow. The aerial bombardment by Israel has resulted in over 600 casualties, including a significant number of women and children. Israel claims to be targeting Hezbollah fighters and weapons.

Lines of buses and cars stretching for kilometers have formed at the Syria border, with some families even making the journey on foot. Upon reaching Syria, people face long waits to be processed by overwhelmed border officials. Relief workers are providing essential supplies such as food, water, mattresses, and blankets to those in need.
