Over One Million Lebanese Have Been Displaced By Israel’s Attacks
Israeli airstrikes continue to rain down on its cities and villages, displacing nearly one million people and leaving thousands dead or wounded. The situation, which has escalated since September 23, is worsening by the day, with both Lebanese and Syrian residents scrambling for safety amid the destruction.
Nasser Yassin, Lebanon’s Minister of Environment in the caretaker government, announced in a press briefing that around one million Lebanese have been displaced due to ongoing Israeli attacks. The situation has deteriorated significantly in the past two days, with hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes in fear of further bombings.
Over 200,000 people have been displaced inside Lebanon, according to the UN
On Saturday, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi confirmed that over 200,000 people have been displaced inside Lebanon in a matter of weeks. Grandi also reported that over 50,000 Lebanese and Syrians living in Lebanon have crossed the border into Syria to escape the intensifying airstrikes.
Entire neighborhoods have been evacuated, particularly in the capital Beirut and the southern regions of Lebanon, where the Israeli bombardment has been most concentrated. Residents have left their homes with little more than what they can carry, fleeing to uncertain futures in overcrowded shelters, public spaces, or across borders.

Death toll and causalities
The human cost of the Israeli attacks is staggering. Lebanon’s caretaker Minister of Public Health, Firas Abiad, revealed that since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 8, the death toll has risen to 1,640, with 8,408 others injured. These numbers reflect the catastrophic toll inflicted on civilians, many of whom have been caught in the crossfire while seeking safety.
Yesterday alone, Israeli strikes killed 33 people and wounded 195 others, further deepening the tragedy. Hospitals are overwhelmed with the influx of the wounded, and resources are stretched thin as humanitarian aid struggles to keep up with the scale of the crisis.
Israel is continuing its Assault on Lebanon
The Israeli military has conducted heavy airstrikes across various regions and governorates in Lebanon, with the capital Beirut and southern towns bearing the brunt of the attacks. The strikes have devastated entire apartment buildings, roads, and infrastructure, leaving a trail of destruction that has left much of the country in ruins.
Despite international calls for restraint, the bombardment shows no sign of slowing down. The Lebanese people are now grappling with not only the loss of lives and homes but also the profound uncertainty of what lies ahead as the conflict rages on.

Humanitarian Response and International Aid
As the humanitarian crisis deepens, Lebanon’s government, along with international organizations, is working to provide aid to those affected. Minister Nasser Yassin is coordinating the crisis response efforts, but the sheer scale of the displacement and destruction is overwhelming. Lebanon’s already fragile economy and infrastructure, weakened by years of political instability, are struggling to cope with this new crisis.
International aid organizations, including the United Nations, have begun to mobilize assistance, but the urgency of the situation demands immediate and coordinated efforts from the global community. More aid is desperately needed to support the growing number of displaced people and to provide medical care for the thousands of wounded.
This is not just a crisis for Lebanon; it is a humanitarian catastrophe that impacts the entire region. The world must not turn a blind eye to the suffering of millions who have been displaced, injured, or killed in this relentless conflict.
