- 2,350 people have been killed and almost 11,000 injured since the start of the escalation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel in October 2023.
- Large-scale displacement continues, with about 750,000 internally displaced people recorded, and more than 80% of the centres opened to host them already at full capacity. A further 283,000 people are estimated to have crossed from Lebanon to Syria.
- Amidst concerns with respect to International Humanitarian Law, the UN human rights office (OHCHR) is calling for an independent investigation into an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in northern Lebanon that killed at least 22, most of whom were reportedly women and children. New evacuation orders to 20 villages in southern Lebanon mean that over a quarter of the country is now under a direct Israeli military evacuation order.
- Between 11 and 15 October, three flights within a EU humanitarian air bridge operation brought 105 tonnes of humanitarian relief goods into the country.
