Over 50,000 flee for Syria amid Israel's attacks on Beirut: UN
The UN refugee chief says more than 50,000 people have fled Lebanon to Syria amid Israel’s bloody massacre of people in southern Beirut.
“More than 50,000 Lebanese and Syrians living in Lebanon have now crossed into Syria fleeing Israeli air strikes,” said Filippo Grandi, the chief of the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).
He said in a message on X that "well over 200,000 people are displaced inside Lebanon.”
The total number of displaced in Lebanon has reached 211,319, including 118,000 since Israel launched its deadly airstrikes on Lebanon on Monday.
The UNHCR warned earlier that the region “cannot afford a new displacement crisis.”
Israel’s barbaric bombing of Beirut, the fiercest in years, has claimed the lives of more than 700 people, including at least 50 children, since Monday.
The UN agency for children, UNICEF, says the regime’s air attacks on Lebanon in recent days have already killed more children per day than the 2006 war, which lasted for 33 days.
