According to Al Jazeera, one in every five people in Lebanon has been forcibly displaced amid the ongoing conflict. The report states that Israeli forces have expanded evacuation orders for residents of southern Lebanon, extending from the Litani River to areas north of the Zahrani River. This zone covers about 1,470 square kilometers, roughly 14 percent of Lebanon’s total territory.

Maps show that numerous villages across southern Lebanon have been ordered to evacuate, with the highest levels of displacement occurring near the Litani River and border regions. The coastal city of Saida (Sidon), Nabatieh, and surrounding areas are witnessing heavy population movement as people head north in search of safety.

The large-scale displacement is intensifying the ongoing conflict and deepening the humanitarian crisis. It is also placing severe pressure on Lebanon’s infrastructure, economy, and social stability.
