UNIFIL warns of worsening escalation in south Lebanon, says hundreds of thousands displaced

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) expressed its deep concern about the recent escalation in south Lebanon, saying in a statement on Thursday that the “ongoing conflict is causing deaths, injuries, and widespread destruction. The situation is further undermining stability in the area.”

“Civilians continue to bear the heaviest impact. Hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee their homes, often at very short notice. Damage to homes, roads, and essential infrastructure is severely affecting daily life and recovery efforts,” it added.

UNIFIL further affirmed that peacekeepers remain on the ground, monitoring and reporting to the Security Council, adding that about 670 projectiles were fired on Wednesday, “the highest level since 17 April.”

“We continue to engage with the parties to help reduce tensions and remind them of their obligations under Res. 1701.”
