Impending? I think the issue is there has been a humanitarian crisis there for decades and no one has done jack shit.
Au contraire! Isreal has been working hard to end the humanitarian crisis by the simplist possible method: getting rid of all the people.
And still completely ignoring the treatment and state of about 500,000 Palestinians in Lebanon for 75 years.
Like everyone else.No no, we don’t talk about those.
I’m ignorant on this issue, what’s up with them?
They are barred from naturalisation, legally barred from owning property, and although Lebanon hands out and renews hundreds of thousands of work permits every year to people from Asia, Africa and other Arab countries, only a handful have been given to Palestinians.
All of that also means that they’re not entitled to any social service such as healthcare or education.
And another thing I’ve recently learned about, Lebanese authorities constructed a concrete wall with watch towers around the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.
Edit: I also forgot to add that, even if they get work permits, some jobs are simply off-limits to them.
Yikes. It started out as expats in Japan and took a left turn to concentration camp real fast.

Mansour said a ministerial delegation from Arab nations and the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be in Washington on Thursday to meet U.S. officials and press for an immediate cease-fire.
“Amid constant bombardment by the Israel Defense Forces, and without shelter or the essentials to survive, I expect public order to completely break down soon due to the desperate conditions, rendering even limited humanitarian assistance impossible,” Guterres warned.
