The UN decries the escalation in Israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon as “catastrophic,” warning the country is facing its deadliest period in years.
“The recent escalations in Lebanon are nothing short of catastrophic,” says Imran Riza, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator in Lebanon. “We are witnessing the deadliest period in Lebanon in a generation, and many express their fear that this is just the beginning.”
