Lebanon Mother of Twins Says Home Bombed as 1 Million Displaced
A mother of twins in Lebanon told the BBC her home was bombed as Israel continues its military operations there. More than one million people in Lebanon have been forced to leave their homes since the conflict began.
A Lebanese mother of twins spoke to the BBC about losing her home in what she says was an Israeli bombing. She is among more than one million people now displaced across Lebanon as Israel expands its ground operations in the country.
The woman said she is trying to stay strong for her children despite losing everything. Her story reflects the experiences of countless families who have been forced to flee their homes.
Israel has been conducting strikes against targets it says are connected to Hezbollah, the armed group based in Lebanon. The Israeli military has told civilians in large areas of southern Lebanon to evacuate for their safety.
The BBC has visited multiple sites where families were killed in strikes, including one home where eight family members died, including three children. The displacement figure of over one million represents roughly 20% of Lebanon's entire population.
Many displaced families are staying in temporary shelters or with relatives, while others have nowhere to go. The scale of displacement has created a humanitarian crisis as the conflict continues to expand.
This massive displacement affects roughly one in five people living in Lebanon. The growing number of homeless families shows how the conflict is spreading beyond military targets to civilian areas.
Watch for updates on displacement numbers and potential ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hezbollah.
