Beirut, Lebanon: 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 pounds Lebanon, she said that "any deliberate attack on UN peacekeepers violates international humanitarian law".
Baerbock was on her 12th trip to the Middle East since October 7 last year.
"The humanitarian situation in Lebanon is becoming more desperate by the day," she said at the start of her trip, which Berlin had not previously announced because of security concerns.
"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.
