Situation updates
Impact of ongoing airstrikes
• In the past 24 hours, multiple areas across the country have been affected by continued hostilities, resulting in casualties and significant damage to infrastructure.
• On 11 March, a strike hit the seafront area of Ramlet alBaida in Beirut, where displaced families had been sheltering in tents along the Corniche, resulting in several civilian casualties.
• Overall, hostilities have intensified across several areas of Lebanon, reaching 1,623 (DRM, 12 March 2026).
• The impact is particularly severe in locations hosting displaced families, where repeated evacuation orders are forcing people to move again within short periods. Areas such as Haret Saida and Tyre (recently receiving displaced families) also came under new evacuation orders, forcing at least 570 people to leave a collective shelter and many residents to flee their homes. Some families reportedly spent the night in open areas due to the lack of shelter options.
• Evacuation orders have also expanded to hard-toreach border villages, including Alma el Chaab and Rmeich, prompting further displacement, with roughly 250 displaced people from Rmeich relocating to Tyre. On 10 March, local authorities and UNIFIL coordinated evacuation convoys from Alma el Chaab, underscoring mounting concerns for civilians in high-risk border areas (OCHA Flash Update #6).
