Over One Million Flee as Strikes Ravage Lebanon
A major displacement crisis is unfolding in Lebanon. Six weeks of Israeli strikes have forced more than a million people from their homes in the south—roughly one-fifth of the country's entire population. The conflict strikes a nation already struggling with a severe economic crisis. With limited government support available, private organizations are stepping in to provide essential aid. Despite warnings from the Lebanese army for displaced residents not to return, cautious movement back has begun. Footage shows vehicles traveling toward the affected areas, mixing hope with ongoing danger. France24 Senior Reporter Cyril Payen is reporting the latest developments from the ground.
