00:00Zainab savours a moment of rest, after hours on the road to escape the strikes in the south
00:06of the country.
00:07What would you like me to tell you? About our first or second trip? Because 11 months
00:14ago we had already fled our village Kfar Kala. And since then we've been in Karnoon, which
00:20we also had to leave. And now we don't know where to go.
00:28Zainab's husband stayed behind, and will try to join them later.
00:35We are going to Beirut. We don't really know where yet. We need to find a house. The main
00:40thing is that we've escaped the bombs.
00:44Night has fallen on Beirut. Zainab has finally found a place to stay in the working class
00:49district of Karmel Zeytoun, in a flat where several families from her region have already
00:54set up camp.
00:57In the village of Harouf, a family of 10 was wiped out. Civilians. There were no fighters
01:02or stocks of weapons in their homes. They're targeting civilians.
01:06I want to go home, back to my house. Even if that means going and sitting on the side
01:13of the road in front of my destroyed home.
01:17Zainab and the others are glued to the news, waiting for a lull in the fighting, and an
01:22opportunity to return to their homes.
