The UN’s humanitarian coordinator for Lebanon, Imran Riza, announced a $426 million flash appeal for urgent aid to assist civilians affected by the conflict. “Without sufficient resources, humanitarians risk leaving an entire country's population without the support they desperately need,” Riza cautioned. He stressed, however, that no amount of aid can fully resolve the crisis if civilians continue to be targeted. Liz Throssell, spokesperson for the UN rights office, also warned that a "large-scale ground invasion" would lead to "greater suffering."
