Lebanon on the brink: The escalating violence has created an urgent need for humanitarian support. @FilippoGrandi calls for a ceasefire and peace. Lebanon cannot bear this burden alone. Now is the time for global action.

We are outraged and deeply saddened by the killing of two beloved members of the UNHCR family and extend our deepest sympathies to their families. The protection of civilians is a must, in line with obligations under international humanitarian law.

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon are now relentlessly claiming hundreds of civilian lives. And I am very saddened to confirm that two UNHCR colleagues were also killed yesterday. On behalf of all us at UNHCR, heartfelt condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.

The escalating crisis in Lebanon is frightening. Thousands of people were forced from their homes today, in a region already devastated by war. The toll on civilians is unacceptable. Political leaders must bring solutions. An end to the hostilities is urgently needed. #UNGA
