The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- Over one million people, about a fifth of Lebanon's population, have been displaced due to renewed conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
- Many displaced individuals have no shelter options as schools and government buildings used as shelters are at full capacity.
- In Beirut, families are resorting to sleeping in tents and cars along the seafront, while some have sought refuge with relatives.
- The current fighting escalated following a U.S. and Israeli war against Iran, prompting Hezbollah, supported by Iran, to launch missile attacks on Israel.
