The Israeli military’s targeting of branches of Qard al-Hassan, a non-profit financial association affiliated with Hezbollah, with over 30 branches across Lebanon, likely violates international humanitarian law and must be investigated as a war crime, Amnesty International said today.
Lebanon remains engulfed in a worsening humanitarian crisis as Israeli airstrikes continue to expand across the country targeting more areas with devastating impact on civilians and key infrastructure essential for daily life.
As the conflict intensifies and humanitarian needs arise, soon exacerbated by winter challenges, WFP urgently requires US$ 116 million by the end of the year to sustain its emergency operations.
Lebanon continues in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis, with Israeli airstrikes intensifying and expanding into previously unaffected areas, impacting civilians and critical infrastructure.
Health care facilities, mosques, historical markets, residential complexes, and now government buildings are being reduced to rubble. Displaced families continue to feel at risk, even after fleeing to safe areas.
