• 'Situation is dire' for displaced people in Lebanon, journalist says

Contesto

Less than a week after a fragile ceasefire took hold in Lebanon, the scale of devastation confronting returning civilians is catastrophic, with thousands of homes destroyed and more than a million people displaced from their communities, according to a senior journalist based in the country.
