The number of people displaced in Lebanon by cross-border attacks between Shiite group Hezbollah and Israeli forces has risen to nearly 29,000, three weeks after border violence began, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said this Saturday.
From the start of the fighting on October 8 until Thursday, the UN agency counted a total of 28,965 internal displacements in the Mediterranean country, of which at least 7,847 occurred in the last four days of the period.
According to an infographic map published by the IOM, most of the departures were recorded in border areas with Israel and other southern provinces, some of which were a considerable distance from the center of the violence.
