UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi stated on Monday that approximately 100,000 people have fled from Lebanon to Syria to escape the ongoing Israeli aggression.

Grandi wrote on the platform “X”: “The number of people who have crossed into Syria from Lebanon to escape Israeli airstrikes has reached 100,000, including Lebanese and Syrians,” adding that “the flow is still ongoing.”

He also mentioned that the UN Refugee Agency is present at four crossing points to assist these individuals, in cooperation with local authorities and the Syrian Red Crescent.
