A U.N. refugee agency official on Friday said that most of Lebanon's nearly 900 shelters were full and that people fleeing Israeli strikes were increasingly sleeping out in the open.
"Most of the nearly 900 government established collective shelters in Lebanon have no more capacity," UNHCR's Rula Amin told a Geneva press briefing. "With the onset of winter, UNHCR is concerned that conditions for those affected by the escalating conflict in other will only worsen," she added.
