What we're witnessing right now in Lebanon is an extremely rapid humanitarian escalation.

So in the last almost 72 hours now, since the massive evacuation orders in the south, in Dahyeh, in the southern suburbs of Beirut, and in the Bekaa region, which is northeast, the scale and the speed of this displacement is pushing humanitarian resources to the absolute brink.

Shelters are filling up so quickly.

The authorities are now trying to prepare, as of last night, one of the main sports stadiums in Beirut to try to accommodate these additional displaced families.

These families, remember, are fleeing.

They're given a very short time to leave their homes.

Many people are arriving at shelters with no basic supplies, nothing.
