More than 70% of Baalbek’s residents in eastern Lebanon have been displaced due to intensive Israeli bombings and evacuation orders targeting Hezbollah positions. Reports indicate that these attacks have not only hit the city itself but have also affected nearby hospitals and schools, as well as cultural heritage sites. The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders, citing the presence of Hezbollah interests in the area. The humanitarian situation in Lebanon is now reportedly worse than during the last major conflict with Israel in 2006, with urgent needs for medical supplies and blood donations highlighted by the United Nations.
