UNICEF: "Huge levels of trauma" among children in Lebanon

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has warned Israelis stay away from military sites in northern Israel to preserve their lives.

This warning comes as the IDF and Hezbollah, continue to fire missiles and rockets across the Israel-Lebanon border.

Israel has dramatically escalated its campaign against Hezbollah over the past three weeks. Lebanese officials say more than 2,000 people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced, among them many children.

Paul Henley spoke to Ettie Higgins, who is Deputy Representative of UNICEF, the UN children's organisation, in Lebanon.
