Recent reports from the Middle East director of the United Nations Refugee Agency have shed light on the dire situation in Lebanon, where approximately a fifth of the population has been forced to flee their homes. With a total population of around 5 million people, this means that over one million individuals are currently without shelter and on the move.
The ongoing Israeli airstrikes and evacuation orders have significantly impacted the country, with an estimated 25% of Lebanon now under direct Israeli military evacuation orders. The situation escalated further as 20 additional villages in the south of the country were issued evacuation orders on Monday, adding to the already substantial number of affected areas.
