Escalation of violence in Lebanon forces thousands to flee
Escalating violence and cross-border attacks linked to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah forced thousands to flee their homes in early July 2026. According to Jesuit Refugee Service, airstrikes displaced tens of thousands of civilians from southern communities and parts of Beirut. Affected families sought refuge in schools, churches, and public buildings. This mass displacement places immense strain on communities already enduring severe economic crisis and political instability.
