Some 1.2 million people in Lebanon have been displaced by Israel’s massive aerial bombardment, according to the government in Beirut.
Around 160,000 people have found shelter in emergency accommodation, according to the head of the government’s emergency committee, Nasser Yassin.
The others fled to friends or relatives, or moved into hotels or their own homes in other areas, state news agency NNA reported.
Almost 300,000 people have crossed the border into civil war-torn Syria since Israel began its phase of intense attacks on targets belonging to Shiite militia Hezbollah last week, according to government reports.
Hezbollah has been firing rockets at Israel daily for months. Israel’s stated aim is to drive the militia back from the border to enable some 60,000 Israelis evacuated from the northern area to return home.
