Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah targets have had terrifying effects on local civilians, who have been forced to flee place after place in search of safety.<\/b><\/p>\n

The last 10 days in Lebanon have seen 600 people killed, thousands of injured and another 90,000 displaced – essentially homeless, as they were forced from their homes.<\/p>\n

Some of those abandoning their houses told the BBC of their experiences, leaving their possessions behind and having to rely on strangers to survive.<\/p>\n

Among them is Valentine Nasser, a journalist who fled southern Lebanon with her mother and brother on Monday, when an intense bombardment made it Lebanon’s deadliest day in decades.<\/p>\n

“We went to Mount Lebanon, about 30 minutes from Beirut, which is currently considered a safe zone,” she said.<\/p>\n

The journey took them 15 hours because of severe traffic jams as thousands tried to get away.<\/p>\n

“We came here without anything, because the bombs were everywhere and we want to be safe as soon as possible,” she added.<\/p>\n

“We are staying in a hotel that’s been converted into a displaced centre and there are more than 300 people here now, with the number increasing. <\/p>\n

“We have, like, 50 people in the same room. Many people still haven’t found a place to stay and some have been forced to sleep in their cars.”<\/p>\n

She said local authorities were providing food and water, adding that although she had lived through periods of conflict before, this time was different.<\/p>\n

“This time is more tension, more sadness, more anger.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
