UN official reports greater destruction than estimates

A report from the United Nations Development Programme in Lebanon revealed that the extent of destruction in the southern part of the country is much greater than previous estimates, with direct damages to buildings amounting to approximately $1.38 billion. This includes the complete destruction of 11,095 buildings and partial damage to another 2,242 buildings as of the end of April 2026. The assessments are based on high-resolution satellite images and intelligent methodologies, but the results do not include vital infrastructure or indirect damages.
