More than 90,000 people are newly displaced in Lebanon, UN says


More than 90,000 people are newly displaced in Lebanon, the United Nations said on Wednesday, as the “exodus of people from south Lebanon to north of the Litani River” amid Israel’s large-scale air campaign continued.

“At least 90,530 newly displaced people have been reported including nearly 40,000 in 283 shelters,” the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.

Some of these people will “likely” include those who fled their homes since Israel and Hezbollah traded fire in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attacks on southern Israel last year.
