As many as one million people in Lebanon could be displaced by dozens of Israeli airstrikes that have hit the country’s capital over the past few days, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati told reporters on Sunday.

“The number of displaced people… could reach a million. Let’s not forget the large influx from the south and the Bekaa,” Mikati said following an emergency cabinet meeting, calling the situation “the largest displacement movement that may have happened” in the country. Caretaker Environment Minister Nasser Yassin echoed Mikati’s words, announcing that about 250,000 people have taken refuge in government-run and informal shelters. However, he stressed that the total number is about “four times as many directly affected and/or displaced outside the shelters.”
