<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed at least 2,055 people and wounded 6,588 others since 2 March, the country’s Health Ministry said, as Israeli bombing and raids continue.</p>
<p>“We don’t want someone to deceive us … and distract us with negotiations,” Hussein Meslmani, sheltering in a school in Tyre, told Reuters, calling for a definitive end to the conflict.</p>
<p>Israeli aggression has displaced 20 percent of Lebanon's population. In less than a month, 1.1 million people in Lebanon, including more than 390,000 children, have been forcibly displaced. </p>
