- Story Text: Lebanon received the first aid shipment sent from the European Union and UNICEF on Tuesday (March 10) as Israel continues to pound the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs with air strikes and its troops pushed deeper into the country's south.
Lebanon's Minister of Social Affairs Haneen Sayed said on Tuesday the state was bracing itself for higher displacement figures than 2024, when the last war between Israel and Hezbollah pushed more than a million people out of their homes.
An Israeli envoy said on Tuesday, a key to ending the war was disarming Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Lebanon was pulled deep into the war in the Middle East last week, when Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah opened fire on Israel to avenge the killing of Iran's supreme leader.
Israel has since launched air strikes across Lebanon's south, east and Beirut's suburbs, killing nearly 500 people including more than 80 children, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
