The start of Lebanon’s new school year has been postponed to November 4 due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which has led to 75% of the country’s public schools being converted into shelters. This decision was announced by a United Nations official who highlighted the significant impact the conflict is having on the country.
According to the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon, Imran Riza, the conflict has had a devastating effect on children, with more than 600,000 people internally displaced across the country. Of this number, at least 350,000 are children, emphasizing the urgent need for humanitarian assistance.
