‘I lost my home twice’: Sudanese mothers caught between two wars

What Happened

The ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel has resulted in the displacement of approximately 1.5 million people in Lebanon since March 2, 2024, according to the article. Among the displaced are migrant workers, including Sudanese nationals who previously fled civil war in their home country. One family, residing in Bint Jbeil, was forced to flee after their residence was destroyed during an Israeli military strike, subsequently seeking shelter in Beirut.

Why It Matters

The displacement crisis highlights the vulnerability of non-Lebanese migrant populations who lack access to state-run or NGO-managed shelters, exacerbating the humanitarian impact of the conflict in southern Lebanon and the subsequent migration toward Beirut.

Watch For

Monitor reports regarding the accessibility of humanitarian aid and shelter for non-Lebanese displaced persons in Beirut, as well as potential shifts in the security situation in southern Lebanon that continue to drive internal displacement.
