The UN humanitarian coordinator in Lebanon has warned that the country is facing bloodshed not seen in decades and that the crisis could deteriorate even further.

“The recent escalations in Lebanon are nothing short of catastrophic,” said humanitarian coordinator Imran Riza.

“We are witnessing the deadliest period in Lebanon in a generation, and many express their fear that this is just the beginning.”

There are now 446 schools, universities, and institutes that have turned into shelters for displaced people, according to an updated list from Lebanon’s National Committee for Coordination of Disaster and Crisis Response Operations.
