Most of Lebanon’s displacement shelters are full, UN refugee agency says

A UN refugee agency official says most of Lebanon’s nearly 900 shelters are full and that people fleeing Israeli strikes are increasingly sleeping out in the open.

“Most of the nearly 900 government-established collective shelters in Lebanon have no more capacity,” UNHCR’s Rula Amin tells a Geneva press briefing. “With the onset of winter, UNHCR is concerned that conditions for those affected by the escalating conflict will only worsen,” she adds.
