Nearly a month into the Middle East war, Lebanon is facing a deepening humanitarian crisis that now risks teetering over into a catastrophe, the UN refugee agency warned Friday. Since March 2, more than a million people, one in five residents, have been forced to flee their homes, said the UNHCR. “The situation remains extremely worrying, and the risk of a humanitarian catastrophe is real,” Karolina Lindholm Billing, the agency’s representative in Lebanon, told reporters in Geneva, speaking from Beirut.
