Lebanon Crisis Deepens as 1.2M Flee Homes

Over 1.2 million people in Lebanon have been displaced due to escalating tensions between Lebanon and Israel, with many fleeing to Beirut and northern regions following intensified military operations over the past three weeks. Local nonprofits are scrambling to provide aid but face overwhelming demand amid limited resources.

A City Stretched Thin

Residents in Beirut are sleeping in forests or braving harsh street conditions, according to Dounia Khairallah Tawk, founder of a local humanitarian group. “Families are exhausted and terrified,” she told CGTN Stringer. “We’re doing everything we can, but the need is endless.”

Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds

With temperatures dropping and shelters overflowing, displaced families face dire shortages of food, clean water, and medical supplies. Volunteers describe the situation as “one of the worst in recent memory,” urging international support to prevent further suffering.
