Lebanon’s displaced wrestle with grief and despair as they return home
Al Jazeera
Lebanon’s displaced families are relieved the war with Israel is over and are now picking up the pieces of their lives.
Beirut, Lebanon – When Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire on Wednesday, Adnan Zaid breathed a sigh of relief.
He and his family had been up all night because of Israel’s thunderous air strikes on Lebanon’s capital.
The fear subsided after the anticipated ceasefire took effect at 4am, yet uneasiness about the future arose.
“Honestly, I’m still worried that something will happen,” Zaid told Al Jazeera. “I have doubts the ceasefire will hold.”
Zaid is one of about 650 people who fled their homes to a guesthouse run by a local relief group in Karantina, a predominantly low-income district in Beirut.
