Amid the ongoing Israeli bombardment in southern Lebanon, a significant number of individuals are seeking refuge in neighboring Syria. Reports indicate that thousands of people who were previously residing in southern Lebanon are now attempting to enter Syria to escape the violence.
The UN refugee agency has confirmed the surge in the number of displaced individuals, with the main highway leading to the Lebanon-Syria border witnessing heavy traffic as hundreds of cars line up in an attempt to cross the border. The agency described the situation as one of desperation, highlighting the urgent need for shelter and safety.
