UN: 250,000 flee from Lebanon to Syria amid Israeli attacks
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has said that approximately 250,000 people have crossed from Lebanon into Syria following Israel’s intensified attacks.
Filippo Grandi wrote on X that hundreds of thousands of people were left destitute or displaced by Israeli air strikes.
He added that local authorities, the Syrian Red Crescent, the UN, and their partners are working continuously to provide a humane and efficient response to the influx.
On Saturday, Grandi arrived in the region to meet officials, as well as Syrian and Lebanese nationals who had fled Lebanon due to Israeli attacks.
