UN official sounds alarm over escalating violence and risk to future generations in Lebanon

The United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, issued a warning on X, cautioning that ongoing violence in the region fails to address underlying issues and could condemn future generations to repeated cycles of conflict.

"Amid the firing of missiles and rockets, dropping of bombs, and conduct of raids, the machinery of war fails to address the underlying issues. And thus the risk of dooming another generation to the same fate is very real, yet again," she stated.
