Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati revealed on Monday that an estimated one million people have been forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing Israeli strikes in the country. Mikati emphasized the rapid nature of the displacement, stating that individuals have been moving from place to place within a matter of days.
According to Mikati, the displacement operation is the largest of its kind, with residents from the south, suburbs, and Bekaa regions being particularly affected. The sudden movement of such a large number of people has raised concerns about the availability of food, shelter, public health, and waste management.
The situation in Lebanon remains precarious as the conflict continues to escalate, leaving many civilians in a state of uncertainty and vulnerability. The government is facing significant challenges in providing assistance to those who have been displaced and ensuring their basic needs are met.
International organizations and humanitarian agencies are closely monitoring the situation and working to provide support to those affected by the crisis. Efforts are being made to coordinate relief efforts and deliver aid to the most vulnerable populations in Lebanon.
As the conflict persists, the plight of the displaced individuals highlights the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the crisis and the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of all civilians caught in the crossfire.
