At least 30,000 displaced people in shelters in Lebanon: UNHCR

At least 30,000 displaced people have sought protection in shelters in Lebanon since hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah began on Monday, the United ⁠Nations refugee agency said on Tuesday.

"Conservative estimates suggest that nearly 30,000 people were hosted and registered at collective shelters," said UNHCR spokesperson Babar ⁠Baloch.

"Many more slept in their cars on the side of roads ⁠or were still stuck in traffic jams on ⁠the roads," he added.
