Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country.
Since October 2023, over 10,200 attacks have occurred along the Blue Line, resulting in substantial casualties. More than one million people have been directly affected and/or displaced across Lebanon, with nearly 160,000 in over 850 collective shelters, often in public facilities like schools and agricultural centers.
Since the escalation of the hostilities in Lebanon, approximately 220,000 people are believed to have crossed the border to Syria through both official and unofficial border crossing points.
The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) is pleased to announce the “Wide Awake Art Contest,” an open call to Lebanese and Tunisian artists as well as artists living in Lebanon or Tunisia to explore the theme “the Sound of Dissent.” The contest will showcase works by those who are documenting and memorializing their communities’ stories in times of instability, resistance, and change.
