NNA - The United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon warned Sunday of an "imminent catastrophe" in the Middle East amid rising violence between Israel and Hezbollah, stating that a military solution was not the answer.

"With the region on the brink of an imminent catastrophe, it cannot be overstated: there is no military solution that will make either side safer," special coordinator Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert said in a statement on X. --- AFP
