Since 1 March, 10 children have been killed and 92 injured in Lebanon in the recent escalations. Renewed airstrikes have hit multiple areas across the country, triggering massive displacement for thousands of children and families, and deepening an already fragile humanitarian situation. These are not just numbers; these are children whose lives have been cut short or torn apart. UNICEF has rapidly scaled up its emergency response, providing children and families affected with life-saving supplies, psychosocial support, child protection services, emergency cash assistance, and remote and online learning support. Medical and health supplies are being distributed in public health facilities. UNICEF reiterates its call on all parties to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians - especially children - and to ensure safe and unhindered access for humanitarian assistance.
