In recent weeks, intense fighting has occurred in northern Lebanon. It resumed on 25 July. At least 14 people have been killed and around 100 injured. Many have been forced to flee their homes, and public infrastructure and private property have been destroyed.

The ICRC appeals to those engaged in the fighting to allow medical and humanitarian personnel to carry out their tasks and to give them unimpeded access to the wounded and those in need of humanitarian aid. Those personnel, as well as medical vehicles and facilities, must be protected against the effects of the hostilities.
