Lebanese employers locked migrant workers inside houses as they escaped strikes from Israel against Hezbollah, denying them access to shelters, the BBC reported on Thursday.

"We are receiving increasing reports of migrant domestic workers being abandoned by their Lebanese employers, either left on the streets or in their homes as their employers flee," Mathieu Luciano, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) head of office in Lebanon, told a press briefing in Geneva and was cited by the BBC.
