No toilets, no shelter: Displaced woman sleeps on Beirut streets with children
Amid the continuous attacks by Israel in southern Lebanon, many people in the Middle Eastern country have been displaced from their homes and are yet to find safe places. India Today TV's Ashraf Wani spoke to one such woman. Bassma, who was displaced from her home in South Lebanon, said that she has not been able to find any shelter and toilet for herself and her daughters in Beirut. Israel's attack has killed 569 people, including 50 children, and wounded 1,835 in Lebanon. Meanwhile, the UNSC has called a meeting on Wednesday to discuss the conflict. "Lebanon is at the brink. The people of Lebanon – the people of Israel – and the people of the world - cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza," news agency Reuters quoted UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as saying while speaking on the issue. At the UN, which is holding its General Assembly this week, US President Joe Biden made a plea for calm. "Full-scale war is not in anyone's interest. Even if a situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible," he said.
