Over 100 Airstrikes in Lebanon Within 10 Minutes; UN Strongly Condemns the Attacks

The United Nations has strongly condemned Israel’s airstrikes in Lebanon on Wednesday and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities. Imran Riza, the UN’s senior humanitarian official in Lebanon, urged the international community to provide additional financial support for humanitarian relief efforts. Reports indicate that over 250 people have lost their lives and 1.2 million individuals have been displaced as a result of the airstrikes.

The UN expressed serious concern over Israel’s attacks in Lebanon on Wednesday. Imran Riza denounced the Israeli offensive and stressed the urgent need to end the war. He stated, “For three hours, there were continuous explosions and ambulance sirens echoed in Beirut, southern Lebanon, and other affected areas.” The morning attack on a café claimed at least eight lives, while the Israeli military carried out over 100 airstrikes within ten minutes that afternoon.

Riza added, “The scene was extremely dramatic. The scale of the attacks was terrifying.” Hospitals are under immense pressure, and a nationwide blood donation appeal has been issued. According to the Reuters news agency, over 250 people have been killed in these Israeli airstrikes.

The United Nations has called on both Israel and Hezbollah to respect international law and to immediately restore unimpeded humanitarian access. The conflict between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, which began on March 2, has resulted in 1,500 deaths, including 130 children. The 1.2 million displaced individuals represent approximately 20 percent of Lebanon’s total population. Imran Riza highlighted the severe impact of violence on civilians and stressed the urgent need to halt the conflict and ease tensions.
