ATLANTA, (WAFA)- The escalation of the conflict in Lebanon, Israel and in the West Bank and Gaza has created a humanitarian disaster, said CARE organisation in a press release.
"Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes and many more are without access to basic, life preserving services," it stated. "The number of civilians killed and injured in all three locations is rising as each day passes."
CARE urged all parties of the conflict to protect the lives of civilians, especially children, in accordance with International Humanitarian Law.
It also urged the international community to ensure humanitarian access in order to mitigate the pain and suffering experienced by those unfortunate enough to be caught in the violence.
CARE called on the international community to take immediate action to resolve the crisis through peaceful means.
