Escalating violence in Lebanon has displaced 83,800 people from their homes since March 2, including 970 pregnant women, according to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). This displacement heightens health and protection risks for women and girls, who face increased dangers of gender-based violence even while giving birth under fire. UNFPA calls for urgent action to safeguard their needs and protect civilians, including humanitarian workers, in line with international humanitarian law.
