There are reports of hundreds of people killed and more than 1,000 wounded after over 100 Israeli airstrikes struck in less than one hour.
More than a million people have been forced to flee their homes, amid a huge escalation in violence in the Middle East.
Airstrikes, bombardment and evacuation orders are causing entire communities to flee in search of safety. Thousands of families are rushing to leave, with roads in gridlock as people try to escape.

Islamic Relief has been working in Lebanon since 2006, supporting communities through war, displacement and the current crises.
Our work includes projects that support refugees and local host communities, provide lifesaving medical operations and supplies to healthcare facilities, repair water networks and provide clean energy and solar power.
During the cold winter we provide poor families with fuel, food and blankets, and we also carry out annual Ramadan and Qurbani distributions.
Our Orphan Sponsorship Programme began in 2006 and has been an ongoing commitment to vulnerable children in Lebanon ever since.
Islamic Relief has responded to numerous emergencies, among them the 2020 ‘Beirut blast’.
Lebanon has been facing a major humanitarian crisis amid conflict, severe poverty and a refugee crisis.
Even before the Israeli invasion and airstrikes which began in 2023, the situation in Lebanon was dire.
More than 3.7 million people in Lebanon were in need of humanitarian assistance before the recent escalations. With further conflict exacerbating the devastation as families lose loved ones, livelihoods and are forced to flee their homes.
Many people – including increasing numbers of refugees and asylum seekers – are simply unable to meet their basic needs and are in desperate need of aid to survive.
