Lebanon’s shelters prioritize citizens, leaving migrants and LGBTQ+ refugees with few options

War in Lebanon has displaced hundreds of thousands, but Beirut’s shelters largely prioritize Lebanese families. Migrants and LGBTQ+ people face scarce refuge, often must crowd into crowded shelters or sleep rough; a trans Syrian immigrant slept on a sidewalk for days until a local nonprofit took her in, revealing how ID rules and stigma limit shelter access and worsen the humanitarian crisis.

Beirut on the brink: recounting the deadliest day of the Lebanon war

Civilians and responders describe chaos, destruction, and fear of further attacks, with displacement rising as residents recall a day when many believed Beirut would collapse.

Iranian Delegation Lands in Islamabad Ahead of US-Mediated Talks as Ceasefire Talks Loom

An Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad for Washington-brokered talks with the US as Israel and Lebanon prepare to discuss a ceasefire in Washington next week. Pakistan is mediating between Tehran and Washington, with US Vice-President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner heading to participate. Iran’s preconditions—an immediate Lebanon ceasefire and the unfreezing of billions of dollars in assets—highlight the core sticking points, including Iran’s nuclear program and its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, making a breakthrough in Islamabad unlikely and signaling more rounds of negotiations to come.

IDF Data Contradicts Lebanon’s Claim to Disarm Hezbollah in the South

Israel’s IDF released statistics alleging Hezbollah fired about 3,000 mortars and missiles from near the Litani River since the operation began, refuting Lebanon’s Jan. 8, 2026 claim that Hezbollah had been disarmed in southern Lebanon; the IDF calls the Lebanese claim a lie and says Hezbollah has reinforced its forces and can move south via bridges and crossings, undermining the LAF’s disarmament effort.

Lebanon and U.S. seek a pause in Israeli strikes before Lebanon-Israel talks

Lebanon and the U.S. have asked Israel for a temporary pause in air strikes against Hezbollah ahead of direct negotiations with Beirut next week, aiming to de-escalate as talks in Washington under U.S. mediation begin. Beirut says any ceasefire must come from Israel-Lebanon talks, not Iran, while Israel’s stance remains unsettled and Netanyahu weighs the request. The push comes amid trilateral discussions and planned high-level visits, with both sides signaling that a forthcoming accord will be delicate and political.

Pakistan’s Asif sparks uproar with incendiary Israel remark amid mediation bid

Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif wrote on X that Israel is “evil and a curse for humanity,” a post since deleted, as Islamabad seeks a bigger diplomatic role in ceasefire talks involving the US, Israel and Iran. His remarks, which also described the Israeli founders as deserving to “burn in hell,” drew condemnation from Israel’s U.S. ambassador and a U.S. envoy and add to a pattern of harsh anti-Israel language from Asif. The episode unfolds as Pakistan hosts and aids talks on the Iran crisis and Lebanon violence, highlighting the challenge of Islamabad’s bid to position itself as a regional mediator amid a widening conflict.

Lebanon becomes flashpoint as Iran presses US to choose war or ceasefire

Lebanon has emerged as a flashpoint in the bid to end Iran-linked hostilities, as Iran’s officials accuse the US and Israel of violations and demand that Lebanon be included in a two-week ceasefire deal, while Washington and Jerusalem say Lebanon was never part of the agreement. The dispute threatens the fragile truce as Israel widens strikes on Hezbollah and Iran signals possible costs for breaches, with regional actors like Pakistan weighing in and concerns mounting over civilian casualties and displacement amid broader tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran Sets Preconditions for U.S. Talks: Lebanon Ceasefire and Asset Release

Lebanon teeters on food insecurity as war disrupts supply chains, WFP says

Lebanon teeters on food insecurity as war disrupts supply chains, WFP says

The UN World Food Programme warns Lebanon faces a growing food security crisis as Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah disrupts supplies and pushes prices higher, with vegetable prices up more than 20% and bread up about 17% since March. Although official stockpiles and ports remain functional for now, southern markets have largely collapsed and hard-to-reach areas are becoming harder to supply, with aid convoys limited and displacement ongoing. About 900,000 people in Lebanon were already food insecure before the latest escalation, a number expected to rise as the crisis persists.
