Despite the official halt of hostilities, numerous people who fled their homes in the eastern and southern regions continue to live in cramped temporary camps around the city. The announcement of peace has not brought comfort or a sense of security, as uncertainty looms over whether they will be able to return to their communities in the near future.
Local residents convey a persistent feeling of mistrust towards the ceasefire, influenced by the region’s long-standing history of unrest. The destruction of homes and lack of safety continue to dominate the lives of those affected, overshadowing diplomatic agreements. This situation highlights the fragile nature of peace in Beirut, where the reality on the ground remains tense and unsettled despite official declarations.
