More than 200,000 people — Lebanese citizens and Syrians living in Lebanon — have now fled the country and crossed the Syrian border as a result of Israeli airstrikes. Relief efforts by the authorities, @SYRedCrescent , UNHCR and other organisations continue in border locations.

I have just landed in Beirut as Lebanon faces a terrible crisis. Hundreds of thousands of people are left destitute or displaced by Israeli air strikes. I have come here in solidarity with those affected, to support the humanitarian effort and to ask for more international help.

Wahiba had made Lebanon her home. Now she has been forced to flee again as one of the countless lives disrupted by the escalating conflict that has caused a devastating humanitarian crisis. The world cannot turn a blind eye.

“If people don’t die of bullets, they starve to death.” For those that survive, the threat of disease, floods and sexual violence looms. This is the cost of inaction in Sudan according to High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi . #KeepEyesOnSudan Learn more:

Lebanon: The humanitarian community is responding to the escalating crisis.   The UN is appealing for $425 million to provide critical aid to 1 million people, including displaced families and refugees.   More support is needed.

As brutal conflict ravages Sudan, more and more people are being violently uprooted. UNHCR is supporting with emergency shelters, supplies and services, but it's not enough. To help more people fleeing their homes, we urgently need flexible funding.

Each came from different backgrounds. Each faced barriers without nationality. Henry, a Holocaust survivor, was granted US citizenship last week, while Miliyon & Karina now have other pathways. It was an honor to meet them & hear their compelling stories of resilience. #IBelong

As the war in Sudan continues, more and more people flee to countries like Uganda for safety. Sudanese refugees like Alyaa and their host communities need urgent support. The world must not look away. #KeepEyesOnSudan
