When Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon, residents like Adnan Zaid felt relief but also uncertainty about the future. Many displaced families are reluctant to return to their war-torn neighborhoods where homes and livelihoods have been destroyed. Some, like Mohamad Kenj, worry about the lack of social and commercial life in their areas. Despite the devastation, families like Fatima Haidar’s are eager to go back home and rebuild. However, the recent conflict has brought grief and loss to many, with Kenj mourning the loss of his cousin in an Israeli air strike. Unlike previous conflicts, many residents do not see the recent conflict as a victory and are worried about the future.
In the aftermath of the ceasefire, residents in Beirut are slowly returning home to assess the damage and begin rebuilding their lives. While there is some hope for the future, many are still struggling with the grief and loss caused by the recent conflict. Despite the challenges ahead, residents like Ayat Mubarak remain hopeful and believe that whatever the future holds, it is all part of God’s plan. As Lebanon begins to recover from the conflict, the resilience and determination of its people will be crucial in rebuilding their communities and moving forward.
