Lebanon’s children want their childhood back: UNICEF
Monday, 16 March, 2026

After three weeks of escalating violence in Lebanon, children are paying the highest price. More than 830,000 people have been displaced – including around 290,000 children – with many forced to flee their homes in panic as Israeli airstrikes continue.According to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), many families fled with nothing - no clothes, toys or schoolbooks - spending hours trapped in traffic while explosions echoed around them.Despite the mounting challenges, UN agencies are scaling up emergency assistance.Christophe Boulierac, UNICEF Lebanon’s Chief of Advocacy and Communication, told UN News’ Nancy Sarkis that many youngsters are showing signs of severe anxiety after years of repeated crises.
