Israel attacks Tyre despite UN warning of 'deteriorating' humanitarian situation

Israel struck the town of Tayr Debba in the southern city of Tyre early on Wednesday, state-news media reported. 

On Tuesday, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) warned that the humanitarian situation in the city and its surrounding is "deteriorating" amid continued Israeli attacks and displacement orders. 

It noted that many civilians remain in the area, including Lebanese residents, citizens displaced from other parts of the country as well as those living in Palestinian refugee camps.

"The displacement order issued by the IDF today for the entire city of Tyre, including all neighbourhoods and Palestinian refugee camps, will affect nearly 44,000 people, many of whom were already displaced," Ocha said in its latest update.

"The UN reiterates the urgent need to protect civilians, ensure safe and sustained humanitarian access, and respect international humanitarian law."
