UN aid chief warns Lebanon crisis is worsened by ‘out of control’ war
U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher called this “a moment of grave peril for Lebanon and for the region,” as the conflict disrupts markets, supply chains and aid operations.
Speaking Wednesday at an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting, he said disruptions to sea routes like the Strait of Hormuz are driving up costs and delaying humanitarian supplies by as much as six months.
“And when that happens,” he said “the most vulnerable people in Lebanon and across the region are hit first — and hardest.”
