100,000 Lebanese in shelters after “unprecedented” Israeli warnings, UN official says

About 100,000 people have fled to shelters in Lebanon and the number of displaced is expected to rapidly increase following "unprecedented" Israeli warnings ordering people out of large parts of the country, a senior U.N. official said on Friday. With war raging between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah, the Israeli military on Thursday ordered residents out of Beirut's southern suburbs, including areas controlled by the Iran-backed group, as well as parts of the eastern Bekaa Valley, after ordering people out of a swath of south Lebanon on Wednesday. Meanwhile, some displaced families spent the night on the streets in central Beirut's Martyrs' square following large-scale evacuation orders. “We’re sleeping here in the streets — some are sleeping in their cars, some are sleeping on the street, some on the beach," said 43-year-old Jamal Seifeddin who fled Beirut’s southern suburbs.
