Temporary shelters with space for 26,000 people have been set up as residents of Lebanon's south flee Israeli bombs, Lebanese minister Nasser Yassin has said.
Families have loaded cars, vans and trucks with belongings, gridlocking motorways to the north.
As bombs rained down, children crammed onto parents' laps and suitcases were tied to car roofs.
Some 89 shelters in schools and other facilities have been activated to receive them, said Mr Yassin.
