Lebanon’s social affairs minister says that 454,000 people had been registered as displaced since the outbreak of the new war between Israel and Hezbollah in the past week.
In a press briefing, Haneen Sayed says that the total number of people who registered their names on a website affiliated with the ministry reached 454,000, including 112,525 people registered in government shelters.
Sayed urges remaining displaced people to register their names with the authorities, with Israel this week having warned residents of Beirut’s densely populated southern suburbs and hundreds of square kilometers of southern Lebanon to evacuate.
