How will Lebanon cope with a looming humanitarian crisis? | Inside Story
Israel’s full-scale bombing campaign across Lebanon is into its second week and causing mass displacement.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati says about one million people have left their homes in the south, the east and parts of the capital, Beirut.
Even before the conflict between the Israeli military and Hezbollah escalated, Lebanon was mired in both a financial and a political crisis.
And nearly half the population was classified as food insecure — meaning they didn’t have enough to eat.
So, how will Lebanon deal with so many displaced people?
