Lebanon remains engulfed in a severe humanitarian crisis as Israeli airstrikes intensify, now reaching areas previously untouched by the conflict, affecting civilians and essential infrastructure. Since October 8, 2023, Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has reported over 2,309 deaths and 10,782 injuries, bringing the total number of conflict-related casualties to 13,091. UNICEF reports that at least 127 children have been killed, with 890 injured. Over the past three weeks, more than 400,000 children have been displaced, and UNICEF warns of the growing strain the conflict is placing on Lebanon’s education system.
