The growing hostilities unfolding in Lebanon have led to an alarming deterioration of an already widespread humanitarian crisis.

As of September 2024, a series of violent attacks across the country resulted in the deaths of over 500 people including children and more than 5,000 people injured according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The devastating escalation of violence is being described as the country’s deadliest days of conflict since 2006, as the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFL) expresses a “grave concern” for the safety of civilians in impacted regions.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) in Lebanon has reported that hospitals and medical facilities, particularly in the South, are “at capacity with injured patients” as the ongoing crisis places a heavy toll on the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The rapid decline in safety and security over the past months has had a detrimental effect on millions of residents in the country, forcing the internal displacement of more than 96,000 people according to the UN’s OCHA. Thousands of more civilians are reported to have fled Lebanon’s south as the situation escalates. 

Statistically, Lebanon holds the largest population of refugees per capita, meaning many of these people are at a constant risk of even further displacement and danger due to the ongoing emergency.
