LEBANON: The ongoing conflict has taken a severe toll on both human lives and the broader population. More than 4,000 people have lost their lives as a result of the fighting, with many others suffering severe injuries. The humanitarian crisis has been exacerbated by the scale of destruction and the limited access to essential services, leaving thousands struggling to survive in extremely difficult conditions. The conflict has caused widespread devastation, particularly in areas where the fighting has been most intense.
Additionally, over 16,600 individuals have been injured, with many requiring urgent medical attention. The injuries are not limited to physical wounds; many victims are also suffering from psychological trauma caused by the constant violence and instability. Hospitals and clinics in the affected areas are overwhelmed, unable to cope with the high number of casualties. The lack of adequate medical facilities and resources has made it even more challenging for those in need of care.
The humanitarian impact of the conflict extends far beyond the immediate death toll. Approximately 1.3 million people have been affected by the ongoing violence, many losing their homes, livelihoods, and access to basic necessities such as food and water. The destruction of infrastructure has made it nearly impossible for communities to maintain normal life, forcing many to rely on aid from international organizations. However, access to these areas has often been restricted due to the ongoing fighting.
Nearly 900,000 people have been displaced from their homes and are now living in temporary shelters or in overcrowded conditions. These internally displaced persons face a host of challenges, including inadequate living spaces, a lack of access to clean water, and limited educational opportunities. The displacement has also strained neighboring regions, which have had to absorb the influx of people, placing additional pressure on already limited resources. As the conflict continues, the toll on both the population and the broader region remains deeply concerning.
