There are now 1.2 million internally displaced people in Lebanon because of the Hezbollah-Israel conflict which has created a new humanitarian crisis that UN aid agencies are responding to as best they can. One immediate problem is that there’s not enough room for everyone in collective shelters, so many people are sleeping out in the open. Keeping sickness at bay is another challenge, after a first case of cholera was confirmed in northern Lebanon this week. Other diseases are also spreading, such as rabies. To find out more about the situation on the ground, UN News’s Nancy Sarkis has been speaking to the UN refugee agency’s Representative in Lebanon, Ivo Freijsen in Beirut.
