Doha: The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that some displaced families in Lebanon have begun cautiously returning to their homes following the announcement of the agreement between the United States and Iran.

According to Qatar News Agency, OCHA stated that approximately 2,700 people in South Lebanon left collective shelters on Monday. It remains unclear whether these movements represent a temporary return to assess homes and property or a permanent return.

The number of displaced people residing in collective shelters has decreased by about 10,000 over the past four days, from approximately 134,000 on Friday to about 124,000 as of Tuesday evening. Although the intensity of violence has declined since Sunday, reports of incidents in southern Lebanon continue to emerge, directly affecting residents' ability to inspect their homes and move freely. The presence of unexploded ordnance remains a major concern. In this regard, the office renewed its call for the protection of civilians and for ensuring a safe, voluntary, and informed return, supported by the provision of sustained humanitarian assistance.
