[UNFPA Lebanon @UNFPALebanon]

Today UNFPA & @mosalebofficial launched the deployment of a lifesaving medical mobile unit to #south #lebanon. It is staffed with a gynecologist, nurse & social worker who are equipped to deliver holistic care to women & girls in conflict-affected areas @Koreainlebanon

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

🚨 Attacks last night on southern suburbs in #Beirut destroyed a @UNFPA-supported safe space for women and girls.

They rely on spaces like this due to the heightened risk of gender-based violence caused by the conflict.

Strikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure must end.

In 20 seconds, this map shows how hostilities have spread across 🇱🇧 over the past year. The last 3 secs reveal the devastating escalation of recent weeks.

We're witnessing the catastrophic impact on civilians on the ground. This conflict must stop now.

“It’s full of the smell of death.”

Until recently, pregnant women received life-saving care at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, #Gaza.

Now it sits empty and burning.
