School starts soon in Lebanon but thousands still shelter in them during war
- Lebanon's school year is set to begin on September 15, 2026.
- Thousands of displaced people remain sheltering in public schools across Lebanon due to the ongoing conflict.
- Approximately 200 families are currently staying in a school shelter in Tyre, a southern coastal city.
- The displaced persons come from villages in southern Lebanon that were destroyed or occupied by Israeli forces.
As Lebanon prepares for the new school year beginning September 15, thousands of displaced people continue to use public schools as emergency shelters across the country. The ongoing conflict has forced residents from southern Lebanese villages to seek refuge in educational facilities, disrupting normal school operations.
In Tyre, a major southern coastal city, approximately 200 families have established makeshift shelters within a public school, setting up temporary living spaces in areas such as basketball courts. These displaced persons fled villages that were destroyed or occupied by Israeli forces during the conflict.
The situation presents a significant challenge for Lebanon's education system, as schools designated as shelter facilities cannot simultaneously serve their primary educational function when the academic year begins.
黎巴嫩学年即将开始 数千人仍在学校避难
黎巴嫩即将于9月15日开始新学年，但全国各地数千名流离失所者仍在公立学校内避难。持续的冲突迫使来自黎巴嫩南部村庄的居民在教育设施内寻求庇护，打乱了正常的学校运营。
在南部主要沿海城市泰尔，约200个家庭在一所公立学校内建立了临时避难所，在篮球场等区域搭建临时居住空间。这些流离失所者来自被摧毁或被以色列军队占领的村庄。
这一局面对黎巴嫩教育系统构成重大挑战，因为被用作避难所的学校在学年开始时无法同时履行其主要教育职能。
