UN official warns Lebanon could face same ‘spiral of doom’ as Gaza

Matthew Hollingworth, Lebanon country director for the UN World Food Programme, warned on Tuesday that Lebanon could face the same devastation as Gaza if the conflict is not stopped.

“It is in my mind from the time I wake until the time I sleep, that we could go into the same sort of spiral of doom … We shouldn’t allow that to happen,” he said, speaking to reporters from Beirut.
