Lebanon’s representative to the UN General Assembly described the turmoil caused by Israel’s deadly attacks.
Bahia El Hariri, a member of the Lebanese parliament, addressed the assembly in New York on Monday (23) on behalf of Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who she said was dealing with the “urgent circumstances faced by the Lebanese people, including in their homes.”
El Hariri said Mikati was working with the government “to deal with the aggression we are victims of at all levels: diplomatic, humanitarian, health, security and also in terms of livelihoods.”
She informed the assembly that residential areas were being targeted and that there was a “mass exodus” of people trying to flee to safety.
“This has damaged our country’s economy and threatened our social order, especially as several countries have asked their citizens to leave our country,” she said.
Israel carried out its deadliest round of strikes in Lebanon against Hezbollah since the 2006 war on Monday, killing nearly 500 people, including dozens of women and children.
“The summit of the future is occurring at an extremely sensitive time. All humanity urgently needs dialogue to question itself and become aware of the dangers that threaten international peace and security,” he said.
