The latest uptick in violence between Israel and Lebanon is an evident spillover of the war waged on Gaza since October 2023. The rapid escalation of violence in Lebanon during September 2024 and continued airstrikes by the Israeli military across Lebanon’s south, Bekaa valley, northern areas of Hermel, as well as parts of Beirut comes with the immediate consequences of hundreds of people killed and injured. People have been displaced in the past months and the wave of forced displacement is even increasing due to the continuous exchange of fire and deliberate attacks in populated areas. Persons with disabilities have been gravely affected by these dynamics, living in inadequate housing, lacking essential services and access to livelihoods and often, during displacement, are left behind.
