Children in Lebanon pay heavy price amid intensifying conflict in the south and compounding national crises

BEIRUT, 30 April 2024 – 75 per cent of children in Lebanon at risk of poverty, as multiple overlapping crises push families closer to the brink.

 Ongoing hostilities in southern Lebanon are taking a devastating toll on the population, forcing approximately over 90,000 people – including 30,000 children – from their homes. According to the latest report from the Ministry of Public Health, 8 children are among the 344 people killed and 75 children among the 1359 people injured since the escalation of the hostilities in October 2023.
