Lebanon's humanitarian crisis is reaching a breaking point as 90% of displacement shelters have hit full capacity, according to UN officials. Thousands fleeing recent military strikes now camp in parks or on sidewalks, with one displaced resident telling CGTN Stringer: \"We left everything behind. Now even safety feels out of reach.\" 🏕️🚨
The Numbers Behind the Emergency
Lebanese authorities report:
1.2 million+ displaced residents
2,083 fatalities since conflict began
9,869 injured—mostly in the past two weeks
Schools like the one visited by CGTN now serve as overcrowded safe havens, with families sharing classrooms and hallways. 📚→🏠
