Lebanon is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis due to ongoing Israeli military actions, resulting in over a million displaced individuals.
The government estimates a need for $250 million per month to support these individuals, but current efforts are only meeting 20% of the needs. As airstrikes continue, the situation is becoming more urgent.
Public buildings, such as schools and markets, are being transformed into shelters to accommodate the growing number of displaced people.
The economic toll of the conflict is estimated to be in the billions of dollars, with extensive damage to infrastructure. The long-term effects could lead to a capital loss for Lebanon, particularly in the agricultural sector, raising concerns about food insecurity.
Lebanon is calling for immediate action from the international community and a ceasefire to address the severity of the situation.
The ongoing conflict also poses the risk of increased illegal migration to Europe.
The crisis in Lebanon has broader implications for regional stability and international relations. The international community's response will be crucial in helping Lebanon recover from the crisis.
