Attacks Continue in Lebanon Despite Ceasefire: 59 Children Killed or Injured, Mental Health Support Urgently Needed

Despite the April 2026 ceasefire, attacks in Lebanon continue, leaving 59 children dead or injured in just the past week. UNICEF reports that ongoing violence and displacement are causing severe psychological distress, such as PTSD, for an estimated 770,000 children. UNICEF's Regional Director urgently calls for increased investment in mental health and psychosocial support to prevent lifelong trauma, and urges all parties to protect children and uphold the ceasefire.
