Lebanon’s interior minister, Bassam Mawlawi, praised the public for their “solidarity and unity” during the crisis.
Speaking at a press briefing, he reported a significant influx to the north of displaced people from southern Lebanon and announced that more than 500 shelters, many located in schools, have been set up to accommodate them.
Mawlawi added that provincial mayors are managing the shelters, where individuals with special needs and chronic health conditions are receiving “special attention”.
