As of 7 Oct, more than 200,000 people have fled Lebanon into Syria over several border crossings. The majority of them are Syrian.

The destruction of the highway also impedes the entry of humanitarian aid into Lebanon.

2:57- 3:27 - SOT Abeer Etefa, WFP Middle East Regional Spokesperson(English):

'We are in the middle of a regional war already. This is a dangerous milestone for this troubled part of the world. This crisis has separated families across borders and destructed vital food supply chains. Homes and livelihoods are being destroyed for millions of people who were already food insecure before this current crisis. This means greater need, and it means more requirements for the aid world at the time when resources are not coping with these needs.'
