The United Nations has issued a stark warning regarding Lebanon's refugee situation, as escalating Israeli strikes have forced many into overcrowded shelters.

A U.N. refugee agency official, Rula Amin, reported that most of Lebanon's nearly 900 government-established collective shelters have reached full capacity, leaving people to sleep in the open.

With winter on the horizon, the UNHCR has voiced concerns over the deteriorating conditions for those affected by the conflict, emphasizing the need for urgent action to prevent further hardship.
