Amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a significant number of people are fleeing Lebanon and heading towards the Syria border in search of safety. This movement marks a stark reversal from the situation a decade ago when Lebanon was hosting over 1.5 million Syrian refugees.
The UN refugee agency has reported a surge in the number of vehicles and individuals making their way to the Lebanon-Syria border. The main highway leading to the border is congested with hundreds of cars, while many people are also arriving on foot, carrying whatever belongings they can manage.
