Visiting UN refugee agency chief decries 'terrible crisis' in Lebanon
The head of the United Nations refugee agency arrived in Lebanon on Saturday on a "solidarity" visit for those affected by Israeli bombardment, decrying a "terrible crisis" that requires international support.
UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi said on social network X that "Lebanon faces a terrible crisis" as "hundreds of thousands of people are left destitute or displaced by Israeli air strikes," adding: "I have come here in solidarity with those affected, to support the humanitarian effort and to ask for more international help."

Nice to know that he didn't think that a million refugees crossing into Lebanon from Syria was not a "terrible crisis". It's only when Israel warns the population of towns and villages in the south to leave their homes in order not to be wounded or killed, so that Hizballah can be dealt with does he show his blatent anti-Israel stance and it becomes a "terrible crisis".

If he knew that 60k Israelis have had to evacuate their homes for a year because of Lebanese shelling he would have a very different perspective.

I thought that the matters of Arab refugees is under UNWRA, so why is he interfering?
