The United Nations refugee agency has issued a warning regarding the escalating number of displaced people in Lebanon, with tens of thousands fleeing their homes in recent days. The situation has been described as 'extremely alarming' and 'very chaotic' by UNHCR spokesperson Matthew Saltmarsh.
The displacement crisis in Lebanon is rapidly unfolding, with tens of thousands already displaced and the numbers expected to increase further, according to Saltmarsh. Many civilians are moving towards Beirut and surrounding areas from southern Lebanon, prompting the UNHCR to focus on ensuring adequate water and sanitation facilities in shelters.
