Just a year after the last war, tents line Beirut’s waterfront. Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah has displaced more than one million people across Lebanon.
A fascinating portrait of the toll of war through the eyes of Elias…the flattening of social distinctions among refugees; the distinction of tents based on where the refugees have come from; and the hookah that reappears in Elias’ life only to be broken. Thank you for helping us see this tragic war in such a human way.
Ian, Great job on this piece. I could feel the family's despair. Please take care of yourself and teh rest of the team. You are providing a bird eye view of the war front.
Just heartbreaking what other people's wars force regular citizens to have to do. I was trying to picture myself in this scenario--what would I take on short notice, where would I go, how would I survive without a "real" roof over my head?
