Lebanon's disaster risk management unit has reported that nearly 109,000 people have been displaced by the recent conflict, with the actual number believed to be much higher. This figure includes Lebanese and Syrians who have fled the country and crossed into Syria. The unit stated that many displaced individuals have sought refuge in various locations, such as with relatives, in rented homes, hotels, or public and private places.
Health Minister Firass Abiad estimates that there are likely 400,000 to 500,000 internally displaced people in Lebanon. While some have been relocated to official shelters, many others have sought shelter with friends, family, or even strangers offering accommodation.
