GENEVA, March 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United Nations said Tuesday that more 
than 100,000 people had been newly displaced within Lebanon in just 24 hours 
amid the war raging in the Middle East.

"As of today, more than 667,000 people in Lebanon have now registered on the 
(Lebanese) government's online platform as displaced -- and this is an 
increase of 100,000 in just one day," said Karolina Lindholm Billing, the UN 
refugee agency's representative in Lebanon.

"That's a faster pace of displacement compared to 2024," she told reporters 
in Geneva, speaking from Beirut.
