\nAddressing the unfolding events in South Lebanon, where airstrikes have claimed numerous civilian lives, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon, Imran Riza, stated:<\/p>\n
The tragic events of the past 36 hours have resulted in a significant loss of life and injuries in south Lebanon.<\/p>\n
