Civilian suffering is reaching ‘unprecedented heights’: UN Lebanon envoy

The UN special coordinator for Lebanon said civilian suffering “is reaching unprecedented heights”, after deadly Israeli strikes hit municipality buildings in the southern city of Nabatiyeh on Wednesday. “Today, Israeli air strikes hit Nabatiyeh yet again,” Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert said in a statement, adding that “civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected at all times”. “Military solutions will not and cannot bring safety or security to either side of the Blue Line,” he said.
