Children in Lebanon have been gravely affected by the hostilities. More than 200 children have reportedly been killed, and commonly reported wounds among children include limb loss, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, shrapnel wounds, and hearing loss caused by explosions.
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, UNHCR identified over 92,000 refugees who are secondarily displaced, including over 76,000 since 23 September only, 99 per cent being Syrian refugees.
Alongside ongoing programmes, WFP scaled up its emergency response, expanding food assistance to affected people outside shelters, reaching 488,200 people with food and/or cash assistance across shelters and communities, since the escalation of hostilities on 23 September 2024.
Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Lebanon has left elderly people especially vulnerable and without essential medicine, food, and fuel for heating as winter approaches, Islamic Relief aid workers report.
The present report provides a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) since the previous report, issued on 12 July 2024 (S/2024/548).
According to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, more than 3,200 individuals, including 200 children, have been killed, and over 14,000 injured, by Israeli airstrikes since October 2023.

The Humanitarian Country Team in Lebanon, led by the Humanitarian Coordinator and supplementing national efforts, continues to respond to the humanitarian needs of the people affected by the increase in hostilities in Lebanon.

The people I have met in recent days–from those in Gaza City, to the displaced in eastern Lebanon, to those crossing into Syria–longed for peace so they could return home. Children spoke of how much they missed school and their friends, and parents wished for an end to the precarity and suffering that displacement has brought. The suffering of millions cannot begin to end until those in power push for peace and take action to end the violence.
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.
Insecurity Insight identified 194 incidents of violence against or obstruction of health care in Lebanon between 08 October 2023 and 27 October 2024. In these incidents, health facilities were damaged or destroyed on 75 occasions.
The use of explosive weapons in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Lebanon was so frequent that it was difficult in many cases to attribute civilian casualties to specific incidents of use, as required by the methodology for this data collection.
