The United Nations and other humanitarian agencies say the Israeli shelling, air strikes and the naval blockade are preventing them from reaching many of the 800,000 to one million Lebanese and foreign nationals displaced by the war.
Hezbollah, in turn, has fired over 3,000 rockets, including several medium-range missiles, which landed near the West Bank town of Jenin and south of the Israeli city of Afula. One missile attack on Haifa, Israel's third largest city, killed three civilians.
Hezbollah -- which is said to have between 12,000 and 15,000 rockets -- says it has killed over 20 Israeli soldiers and destroyed several tanks.
Conservative estimates put the death toll in Lebanon at 1,000, while the Israeli death toll has risen to over 150, including over 60 civilians. Four UN observers in Lebanon were among the victims of the Israeli attacks.
The Lebanese government's Higher Relief Council says at least 915,762 people have been displaced.
