Refugees and Migrants Seek Shelter in Beirut Church Amid Israeli Strikes in Lebanon

Amid heavy Israeli strikes in Lebanon responding to Hezbollah attacks, around 300,000 people have been displaced, including refugees and migrants who often cannot access government shelters. Many, like Sudanese refugee Ridina Muhammad, have sought refuge in places such as Beirut's St. Joseph Tabaris Parish church, which is hosting over 140 displaced individuals. The UNHCR acknowledges challenges in providing aid due to limited funding and the rapid displacement, while affected families face urgent needs including medical care and shelter.
