Everything refugees. Everything evolutionary. Views my own, inspired by the world around, above and beyond.

Just arrived in Beirut after last week’s devastating strikes. Over 1 million people displaced in this small country. I am here in solidarity —and to urgently push for protection of civilians and an end to this spiraling conflict.

[Karolina L Billing @KarolinaBilling]

Very proud & grateful for the successful partnership between @UNHCRLebanon and @DGSGLB. After a great introductory meeting with Major General Hassan Choucair yesterday, I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the efficient work our teams are doing together to support returns.

[UNICEF Lebanon @UNICEFLebanon]

UNICEF is deeply shocked and outraged by the killing of three children from the same family in an airstrike in South #Lebanon.

Attacks on children are unconscionable. No child should ever pay the price of conflict with their life.

Hostilities must cease immediately to ensure the protection of #EveryChild.

[UNICEF Lebanon @UNICEFLebanon]

اليونيسف تدين بشدّة وتستنكر مقتل ثلاثة أطفال من عائلة واحدة في غارة جوية جنوب #لبنان.

إن استهداف الأطفال أمر غير مقبول ولا يمكن تبريره. فلا يجوز أبداً أن يدفع أي طفل حياته ثمناً للنزاع.

يجب أن تتوقف الأعمال العدائية فوراً لضمان حماية #كل_طفل.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Civilians in Lebanon “should not pay the price for the abysmal failure to find political solutions and end this vicious cycle of violence.”

We are outraged and deeply saddened by the killing of two beloved members of the UNHCR family and extend our deepest sympathies to their families.

The protection of civilians is a must, in line with obligations under international humanitarian law.

UNHCR & its partner @INTERSOSLebanon inaugurated a solarized chlorination system at a water station in Naher Ibrahim.

Jean Gebran, director of the water establishment: The project at the water station has greatly benefited the Jbeil district. Now, we can have safe, clean water.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Six months on, the Israeli military campaign has brought relentless death & destruction to Gaza.

Lives shattered. Children dying for lack of food & water.

This is incomprehensible & entirely avoidable.

Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

Over 89,000 displaced in South 🇱🇧 so far.

UNHCR continues to support families under the leadership of the GoL w/ MoE close cooperation.

@nasseryassin “UNHCR's role is essential to secure the much-needed support for the displaced. The work demonstrates respect to our people.”

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

ممثل المفوضية @IFreijsen ووزير البيئة @nasseryassin في جولة اليوم في قضاء النبطية لتفقد استجابة المفوضية للنزوح في جنوب 🇱🇧 بقيادة الحكومة اللبنانية.

المحطة الأولى عند المحافظ هويدا الترك @turk_dr67805 حيث تم استعراض عمل خلية ادارة الكوارث ووحدة الازمات.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

📍We are in Nabatieh today with Minister of Environment @nasseryassin to see first-hand UNHCR and partners' response to the needs of the displaced.

Our first stop was at Governor Howaida Al-Turk where the work of the Disaster Management Cell and the Crisis Unit was presented.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

🚨Happening Now!

Minister of Environment @nasseryassin is inspecting a distribution of UNHCR core relief items by UNHCR and @SheildAssoc teams in Habbouch village in Nabatiyeh district, as part of UNHCR’s response to the needs of the displaced in the South 🇱🇧

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

المحطة الثانية: حبّوش، النبطية حيث عرض فريق المفوضية على الوزير @nasseryassin والمحافظ @turk_dr67805 عملية توزيع مواد الإغاثة للنازحين في جنوب 🇱🇧.
شدد الوزير على اهمية جهود المفوضية "ان التعاون مع المفوضية بالتنسيق مع مكتب محافظة النبطية اساسي للسعي قدماً في تقديم الدعم للنازحين"

[Ivo Freijsen @IFreijsen]

في النبطية اليوم، جنوب 🇱🇧 حيث نواصل مساعدة النازحين. التقينا معاً مع الوزير @nasseryassin بأولئك الذين دعمناهم بمواد الإغاثة الأساسية والمساعدات النقدية وأولئك الذين يقيمون في الملاجئ الجماعية التي أعادت المفوضية تأهيلها.

نحن نقف إلى جانب شعب 🇱🇧 في مواجهة عقبة أخرى.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

These bags contain hand-made soap, wool clothes & preserved food that Lebanese & refugees have made for families who are displaced due to ongoing clashes in the south.

With partner @SheildAssoc, we have distributed these food and hygiene kits to 600 displaced families.

[Ivo Freijsen @IFreijsen]

Insightful meeting with consultants Mirna and Fadi who are advising us @UNHCRLebanon on critical steps towards enhanced disability inclusion with clear messages on what remains to be done.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

🏫 Dr. Charafeddine founded much more than a school.

He provided hope for many Lebanese & refugee children.

The Friends of the Disabled Association is more than a school, giving children the opportunity for a brighter future.

[UNHCR Lebanon @UNHCRLebanon]

Thank you to our Goodwill Ambassador @MIYAVI_OFFICIAL for making refugee & Lebanese children happy with your music, your kindness and inspiration.
