Lebanon is facing a humanitarian crisis as over a fifth of its population, more than a million people, have been displaced by the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. The country's economy has suffered significant losses, estimated at $20 billion, surpassing its GDP. Key sectors like tourism and agriculture have been severely impacted, leading to a rise in unemployment. Lebanon is also struggling with high inflation and large international debts. The Economy Minister predicts that the fighting may continue until the new US president assumes office.
