UN Refugee Chief Condemns Airstrikes in Lebanon as Humanitarian Law Violations

Filippo Grandi highlights civilian casualties and infrastructure damage amid intensified Israeli operations against Hezbollah.

The UN's Filippo Grandi criticized Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon for violating international humanitarian law by targeting civilian areas.
Lebanon is facing a humanitarian crisis with over 1.2 million displaced due to ongoing conflicts involving Israel and Hezbollah.
More than 2,000 people have died and nearly 10,000 have been injured in Lebanon over the past year, with recent weeks seeing the most intense violence.
Israel claims its military actions are against Hezbollah's capabilities, while Lebanese officials accuse Israel of targeting civilians.
The conflict has forced approximately 220,000 people to flee to Syria, complicating humanitarian efforts and border crossings.
