Continuing hostilities in Lebanon as 1.2 million displaced sink into despair
Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Israel has continued striking Lebanon and its troops are occupying a strip of the south, destroying homes they describe as Hezbollah infrastructure. Hezbollah, meanwhile, has kept up attacks against Israeli troops in Lebanon and on northern Israel. The continuing hostilities have caused the displacement of 1.2 million people. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks with IFRC spokesman Tommaso Della Longa about the humanitarian crisis in the country.
