He said that 12 lakh people have left their homes during this period. Most of them lived in the capital Beirut and the northern region of the country.

Ted Chaiban, UNICEF's deputy executive director for humanitarian operations, visited the schools as shelters for displaced families.

"What strikes me is that this war is three weeks old and so many children have been affected," Chaiban told AP in Beirut.

"Today we are sitting in a country where 12 lakh children are deprived of education. Their schools are now being used as shelters. But the biggest risk for this country is the loss of future generations. Not only these, but also Syrian and Palestinian children are at risk of education" - Chaiban said

Chaiban said that more than a hundred children were killed and more than 800 injured in Israeli attacks in Lebanon in the last three weeks.

It should be noted that according to the country's Ministry of Health, more than 2,300 people were killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon last month.
