Six months after the war, Lebanese families remain in shelters with no homes to return to. Hassan Bisher, a 33-year-old taxi driver in Nabatieh, lost his home in Kfar Tebnit when Israeli bombardments destroyed thousands of homes across south Lebanon. The recent war has forced tens of thousands to flee their villages and live in cramped conditions.
Hala Loubany, 29, gave birth to a 72-hour-old baby in a school-turned-shelter, her first days spent in a classroom. She is still recovering from a C-section and worries about her wound becoming infected due to poor sanitation. Ali Mahmoud Loubany, Hala's father, is frustrated with his family's displacement and wonders if they should leave Lebanon permanently.
