The Red Cross has been busy in the Middle East in recent days, with 700,000 believed to have been displaced in Lebanon alone, and a further 3.2 million in Iran.
Based in Beirut, Gabriel Karlsson, Middle East and North Africa Regional Representative for the British Red Cross said:
‘The shock of just a few days of violence could create ripple effects that impact the region for decades.
‘I’ve seen families sleeping in their cars, children, the elderly and people with disabilities left with no shelter.
‘People are forced to flee with little belongings, become separated from loved ones, and are struggling to find adequate shelter, access to food or healthcare.
‘We are working tirelessly to ensure people are not in harm’s way, but the numbers are staggeringly high.’
In Tyre, Lebanon, a Lebanese Red Cross paramedic was killed by an Israeli attack. His funeral took place on Wednesday, with hundreds of Red Cross staff in attendance.
