German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned on Wednesday that "Lebanon is on the brink of collapse" as she arrived in the war-torn country for a visit. As Israel clashes with militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, she also said that "any deliberate attack on UN peacekeepers violates international humanitarian law.

Baerbock was on her 12th trip to the Middle East since the Hamas attack of October 7 last year set off Israel's war in Gaza and now against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing with their last belongings, children are being separated from their parents, hospitals are working at the limit of their capacity.
