Lebanese displaced by war fill Beirut’s streets, upending city life - AP News

Thousands of Lebanese displaced by war have flooded into Beirut, overwhelming the capital's streets and straining city services and infrastructure. The displacement represents a major humanitarian crisis, as civilians flee combat zones and seek shelter in the capital, which itself has faced security threats and damage. The influx is upending daily life in Beirut—crowding public spaces, straining housing availability, and disrupting commerce and transportation. Families are sheltering in schools, mosques, and makeshift camps, competing for limited resources and aid. The displacement underscores the broader destabilization affecting Lebanon as conflict continues to force civilians from their homes.
