united nations vehicles pass through southern lebanon

united nations secretary-general guterres issued a statement through his spokesman on tuesday, expressing deep concern about the escalation of the situation in lebanon and condemning the escalating conflicts in the middle east. he called for an immediate ceasefire and that every effort must be made to avoid a full-scale war and safeguard lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity. he also called on the international community to urgently support the us$426 million humanitarian aid plan launched in beirut that day to help lebanese people displaced by the conflict.

the united nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs launched an emergency aid appeal on tuesday to help the 1 million lebanese displaced by israel's massive shelling. a large number of civilians were forced to flee their homes after israel launched a "limited, localized and targeted" ground operation across the "blue line", the temporary dividing line between lebanon and israel.

according to the office of the united nations high commissioner for human rights, continued airstrikes have killed more than 1,000 people in the past two weeks alone. as violence escalates, more people are expected to be forcibly displaced.
