According to UNICEF, in Lebanon hundreds of children have been killed or injured, hundreds of thousands displaced, and countless others are at risk due to the ongoing hostilities.
Thousands of children and families are now living in the streets or in shelters; many having fled their homes without essential supplies and belongings.
Humanitarian conditions are growing worse by the hour.
The conflict comes on top of the already fragile situation for tens of thousands of families in Lebanon.
The country has been impacted by a string of unrelenting crises in recent years, including the massive Port of Beirut explosion, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the fifth year of a crippling economic collapse.
UNICEF urgently calls for an immediate ceasefire and for all parties to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law to ensure the protection of civilian infrastructure and civilians, including children, humanitarian workers and medical personnel.
This includes facilitating the safe movement of civilians seeking safety.
