MORE than 400,000 of Lebanon’s children have been displaced in the past three weeks by Israel’s war, the United Nations’ children’s agency has warned.

Unicef deputy executive director for humanitarian actions Ted Chaiban said on Monday that displaced children were crammed into overcrowded shelters, with three or four families living in classrooms separated by just a plastic sheet.

“As we sit here today, 1.2 million children are deprived of education,” he said, warning of a “lost generation.”
