War on Lebanon 2024 Press Releases
This report is produced by OCHA Lebanon in collaboration with humanitarian partners and the Inter Sector Coordination Group. It covers the period from 22-25 November 2024.
Because while this ceasefire is a critical first step, much work remains. More than 1.3 million people have been affected by this conflict; children have experienced daily violence, causing severe fear and trauma.
A ceasefire announced this morning in Lebanon offers opportunity for children and families to rebuild their lives, but it must last, international humanitarian organisation World Vision warns today.
On Saturday 23rd November at around 4am, a series of Israeli air strikes killed at least 29 people and injured 66 others in the central and densely populated Beirut neighbourhood of Basta al Fawqa.
Islamic Relief stands in solidarity with the innocent people of Lebanon and welcomes the announcement of the ceasefire. This must serve as a starting point to allow people in Lebanon impacted by the violence to recover, get relief at last, and facilitate the return of displaced communities to their homes and businesses.
I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon, offering a much-needed reprieve and hope for civilians who have endured over a year of immense suffering.
Israeli air strikes intensifies across Lebanon, including in the South, Saida, Nabatieh, Bekaa, Mount Lebanon and around the southern suburbs and other central locations of Beirut, deepening the already severe humanitarian crisis.
After a violent night in which Israel’s aerial bombardment of Beirut spread yet more chaos and destruction, we now have a long-overdue ceasefire. It will be a moment of relief for the families I met recently in Lebanon - and for millions around the country - but this relief must be lasting.
We welcome yesterday’s announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon and urge its implementation. This much-needed multilateral diplomatic effort provides a critical opportunity to scale up humanitarian assistance, ensuring those affected by the conflict receive the help they desperately need.
CARE welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon. We call on all parties to the conflict to prevent any further escalation of violence, adhere to international humanitarian law, and continue efforts to build on this critical step towards a sustained ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
