BEIRUT, 26 November 2025 – “Deadly attacks continue to threaten children in Lebanon. These tragedies add to a devastating toll: more than 13 children have been killed and 146 others injured since the ceasefire was announced one year ago, as reported by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
“Across Lebanon, children continue to be exposed to violence and fear, even during a ceasefire. This is unacceptable. Every child has the right to grow up safe, protected, and free from harm.
"We urge all parties to respect the ceasefire and to take immediate action to end and prevent violations against children, uphold their rights and comply with international law. We further call on all actors with influence over the parties to use their leverage to enhance the protection of children"
“Children in Lebanon are still far from being safe. They need protection, psychological support, and an environment where their rights are guaranteed, not threatened.”
