Israel has forcibly displaced nearly 100,000 people in Lebanon over the course of just a few days, the UN has reported as Israeli forces appear to be gearing up for a ground invasion of Lebanon.

Just since Monday, at least 90,530 people in Lebanon have been forced to flee their homes, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported Wednesday. Israel has ordered evacuations in wide swaths of Lebanon and bombarded civilian areas that Israeli officials claim, without evidence, are sites for militant activity — a claim that Israel has also used to justify bombing homes, schools, refugee camps and hospitals in Gaza.

In all, over 200,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon since October, according to OCHA, as Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged bombs across the border, with the vast majority of the bombs coming from Israeli forces. Nearly 40,000 of the newly displaced people are now being housed across 283 shelters, the UN reported.
