Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warned Monday that Lebanon remains mired in a deep humanitarian crisis a year after Israel’s war, as ongoing cross-border attacks and cease-fire breaches prevent tens of thousands from returning home.
The group said Israeli strikes and military positions along the border are blocking the safe return of displaced families and undermining access to basic services.
"More than 82,000 people remain displaced, while thousands of families are struggling to access healthcare and rebuild their lives in conditions of ongoing instability,” said Darwin Diaz, MSF’s medical programs coordinator in Lebanon.
"Even with the November 2024 ceasefire, the hostilities never truly stopped, and the crisis persists.”
According to the World Health Organization, the conflict inflicted massive damage on the health system in southern Lebanon.
