Days after USA and Israel fired the first shots at Iran, today’s conflict in the Middle East spread to Lebanon. Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia, has constantly traded blows with Israeli forces in the weeks that followed the initial attacks. And now, children in Lebanon are paying the price, according to the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. It says over 1 million people have been displaced as a result of this war, and at least 370,000 of those innocent lives are children.
