More than eight hundred thousand Lebanese have started returning to their hometowns following the conflict, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The return began on July 30, with 821,077 individuals resuming their journey home, as reported by Agence France-Presse (AFP) on August 4.
