With Israel and Hezbollah locked in the fiercest fighting in decades, many Lebanese have taken refuge in schools, hotels and other shelters.
Lebanese who were forced to flee their homes due to Israeli airstrikes have been housed in school buildings in Lebanon's capital of Beirut on Tuesday.
Children’s laundry hung from some of the classroom windows to dry. But most of the families arrived with nothing at all — only the clothes they were wearing.Volunteers distribute clothes to displaced women at a school in Beirut on Thursday. She says as they drove away there was blood “all over the street. You’d see a child lying in front of you bleeding and you can’t do anything to help.”
“Suddenly someone comes and makes your kids live in a state of fear, blood and destruction,” says her mother. “Nobody accepts living like that — to be humiliated and see their lives torn apart.”It was too soon for the sense of loss that follows displacement to kick in. Abu Ali, a construction worker, and his wife refer to life in their border village in the present tense.
Hezbollah began attacks last October to support Hamas in its fight against Israel in Gaza. Despite intense efforts by the United States and France to broker a cease-fire between Lebanon and Israel, Hezbollah has made clear that it will stop only when the fighting in Gaza stops.
