More than a million people have been displaced in Lebanon due to the conflict.

Omissions

• The claim does not specify whether 'more than a million' refers to cumulative displacement (all those displaced at some point since the conflict began) or the number currently displaced at the time of speaking. IOM data from May 2026 indicates approximately 1 million remained displaced, while the cumulative figure since 2 March 2026 also exceeds 1 million.
• The claim does not distinguish between internally displaced persons (IDPs) within Lebanon and those who crossed into Syria (over 130,000), which the IOM reports separately. The 'more than a million' figure refers specifically to internal displacement.
