Israel's fighting with pro-Iranian militant Hezbollah has led to a recent surge in refugees in Lebanon, with 60% of public schools being used as evacuation facilities.


According to a situation report by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance and OCHA on the 14th local time, 186,000 Lebanese people fled to evacuation facilities in three weeks as the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah intensified.

As they flock to 1,023 shelters, 822 have already reached their capacity limits, it said.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance said, "There are also frequent destruction of educational facilities due to continuous airstrikes."

"As migrants surge, at least 60% of Lebanon's public schools are currently used as evacuation centers for refugees," he said, noting that more than 300,000 children do not have access to public education services.
