Now to Lebanon, where the toll of the wider war has been severe.

More than one million Lebanese are displaced.

Israel has invaded the country south again and is demanding people vacate more land.

The United Nations top refugee official is there on a mission to survey the crisis, and

he sat down earlier today with special correspondent Simono Fultein.

Dr. Barham Saleh, thank you very much for speaking to the news hour.

Thank you.

Israeli bombardment on Lebanon has displaced more than a million people that's around a fifth of the population.

What has been the humanitarian impact?

It's undoubtedly very profound.

This is truly a rapidly deepening humanitarian crisis.

Imagine the impact that this is causing to the entire society, to the entire country.

I've visited a number of places including shelters.

And these are heart-wrenching scenes, the stories that you are told,

people leaving everything behind literally in a matter of minutes,

walking miles on foot to get to safety areas and so on.

This is truly a humanitarian catastrophe by all standards.

And remember, Lebanon has been a host of refugees for so long. Hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have taken residents in this country for more than a decade,

not to mention refugees from other places in the Middle East, for Lebanon to be impacted this way.

Time and to be fair is really very sad, very painful.

During our reporting, we've seen people sleep in their cars,

sleep under tents.
