Lebanon is facing a severe displacement crisis as Israeli military strikes have forced thousands of people to flee their homes. The United Nations reports that most of the country's nearly 900 shelters are full, leaving many to sleep in the streets or public parks. The situation is particularly dire for women, who are facing increased risks and require urgent assistance for basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. Local authorities and the U.N. are scrambling to find additional shelter options as the conflict intensifies.
