Beirut, Lebanon
United Nations agencies are calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon as the ongoing war continues to worsen dire humanitarian conditions in the country.
In a joint statement released on Tuesday, the UN agencies said that the conflict has killed thousands of people, displaced millions more, and destroyed critical infrastructure, including hospitals and schools.
“The war has brought about immense suffering and hardship for the people of Lebanon,” the statement said. “Civilians are being killed and injured, families are being displaced, and basic services are being disrupted.”
The UN agencies said that the war is also having a devastating impact on the economy, which is already in a state of collapse.
“The conflict is destroying Lebanon’s economy and making it increasingly difficult for people to meet their basic needs,” the statement said. “Food prices have skyrocketed, and many people are unable to afford to buy food.”
The UN agencies said that a ceasefire is urgently needed to allow humanitarian aid to reach those in need.
“A ceasefire would allow us to provide assistance to those who have been affected by the war, and it would also allow people to return home and rebuild their lives,” the statement said.
The UN agencies called on all parties to the conflict to agree to a ceasefire and to work towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
“The people of Lebanon deserve a chance to live in peace and security,” the statement said. “We urge all parties to the conflict to agree to a ceasefire and to work towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict.”
