slosser, spokesman for the office of the united nations high commissioner for human rights, said that in the past two weeks alone, israeli attacks on lebanon have killed more than 1,000 people. hundreds of thousands of people remain displaced within lebanon, with some recently fleeing to syria.
rossell, spokesman for the office of the united nations high commissioner for human rights: we are seriously concerned about the growing hostility in the middle east and the possibility that the entire region may fall into a humanitarian and human rights disaster. there is a real risk that the situation will deteriorate further, with dire consequences for civilians, and could quickly spread to other countries in the region. as armed violence between israel and lebanese hezbollah escalates, the consequences for civilians are already dire. we fear that a massive israeli ground invasion of lebanon will only cause greater suffering.
according to reports, tens of thousands of homes across lebanon were damaged or destroyed long before the situation escalated. medical facilities have also been damaged, with about 10% of lebanon's medical centers closed. since october 2023, 41 medical staff have died and 111 medical staff have been injured, with 14 medical staff dying in the past two days alone. 25 water supply facilities were damaged, affecting nearly 300,000 people. about 300 schools and childcare centers have been converted into shelters.
