Humanitarian Crisis in Lebanon Due to Conflict

The ongoing Israeli air and ground campaign against Hezbollah has displaced approximately 1.2 million people in Lebanon, leaving many without adequate shelter as winter approaches. Humanitarian organizations, including Oxfam, are struggling to meet the escalating needs of those affected, with many currently living in makeshift accommodations such as cars and tents. Ghazi, a displaced Lebanese man, recounts his family's harrowing journey to a UNRWA emergency shelter where they now share space and resources with other refugees, including Syrians and Palestinians. The UNHCR reports that around 425,000 individuals have fled Lebanon into Syria, with a significant portion being Syrian refugees and Lebanese nationals. As the conflict continues, the situation remains precarious, with thousands still on the streets and others seeking refuge across borders. Humanitarian efforts are crucial but face immense challenges as displacement numbers grow and winter conditions set in.
