Israeli Forces airstrikes in #Lebanon have forced thousands of people to flee their homes among them Palestine Refugees.
@UNRWA teams are responding.
We have opened seven shelters for the displaced, currently hosting 1,600 including Lebanese, Palestinian & Syrian.
Many are traumatized due to the ongoing bombardment, uncertainty + fears.
For some, it is trauma re-lived given repeated cycles of conflict over the decades.
A further expansion of the war will only bring more suffering for civilians.
Civilians must be protected.
Civilian infrastructure must not be targeted.
