00:00This is normally where Beirut residents come to have fun, to relax, to smoke shisha, to
00:07enjoy the view of the waterfront.
00:08Now it's filled with tents that are home to displaced people from the south of the city,
00:13from central Lebanon and from the south of the country, displaced by Israel's bombardment,
00:18displaced by the invasion.
00:20There are now dozens and dozens of villages where Israel has ordered the residents to
00:25leave and many of these people here have come from the southern suburbs of Beirut.
00:30They've been affected directly by Israel's bombardment.
00:36I was displaced from Aleppo and I came to Lebanon, but these kinds of monstrous acts
00:41I have not seen before.
00:43My house in Syria is gone and now my house here is gone.
00:50I've been here for 12 days, around five days ago I went home to shower, when I was done
00:56I was leaving through Harit Hreik, there was an Israeli strike and I was thrown from my
01:01motorcycle and I was injured.
01:06We request that the world defend us against this evil state.
01:10Look at what happened to us because of the war.
01:13We don't have food to eat.
01:15Look at how we are sleeping.
01:17Look at our situation.
01:19We don't have showers.
01:20It's impossible.
01:22Israel says it's been targeting Hezbollah facilities and leaders, but these people have
01:27lost houses, some have been injured in airstrikes and they ask, what did they do wrong?
01:33The whole country is affected.
01:34There are 1.2 million displaced Lebanese according to the Lebanese government and as you drive
01:40around Beirut, the impacts are everywhere.
01:43Schools have been turned into shelters.
01:46People are sleeping on the footpaths, in their cars, in the yards of churches.
01:51This war is apparently one in which the strikes are targeted, but the impact is widespread.
