At the Sports City Football Stadium on the outskirts of Beirut, nearly 800 people are now crammed into white tents pitched by volunteers.
People haven't had access to clean bathrooms and say they haven't showered for days.
Samer Safah is the general manager of Mechzumi Foundation, a non-profit trying to help equip the stadium to make it more livable.
He says resources are very limited.
Safah says organizations like his are feeling the impact of President Trump's cuts to international humanitarian aid, making it difficult to provide essential services to those in need in Lebanon.

An Israeli military investigation said poor night visibility led a deputy battalion commander to assess that a convoy of ambulances belonged to Hamas and to shoot at it. It said that the commander would be fired due to his decisions.

At first, the military said that the medical vehicles approached the troops suspiciously, but video released later showed the marked rescue vehicles had headlights on and flashing red emergency lights. The Israeli troops buried the medics' bodies in a mass grave and bulldozed over the ambulances.

The military investigation said the decision to crush the ambulances was wrong, but that there was no evidence to support claims of, quote, execution. Hadil Al-Shalji, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

Hamas also issued a statement today. The militant group rebuffed Israel's extension proposal. It said that Israel is trying to sabotage, evade the ceasefire agreement. Hamas also described Netanyahu's decision to stop humanitarian aid as, quote, cheap blackmail and a war crime. But while Hamas sounded defiant, the group stopped short of outright rejecting an extension.
