Displacement in Lebanon at 'catastrophic' levels, UN says

The level of internal displacement and destruction of civilian infrastructure in Lebanon has been “catastrophic”, Imran Riza, the UN’s resident and humanitarian coordinator, said. 

“The level of trauma, the level of fear amongst the population, has been extreme,” Riza said.

“You’ve got people being displaced from one place to another, thinking they were going to a safe place, and then that being struck,” he added.
