Beirut, Lebanon – Residents of Beirut woke up Sunday with a sense of anger, extreme fear, and feelings of being abandoned after another night of Israeli airstrikes pounded the city. The consecutive nights of bombardments have left the people of Beirut feeling trapped and helpless.
According to FRANCE 24 correspondent Cyril Payen, the overnight strikes on Saturday into Sunday were particularly intense, leaving Beirut’s southern suburbs engulfed in a cloud of smoke for hours afterwards. The city, already reeling from the impact of the devastating explosion at the port last year, now faces further trauma and destruction as a result of the ongoing conflict.
The fear and anxiety felt by the residents of Beirut is palpable, as they struggle to cope with the relentless attacks on their city. The feeling of abandonment only adds to the sense of desperation and helplessness that pervades the streets of Beirut.
As the violence continues to escalate, it is imperative for the international community to step in and help facilitate a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The people of Beirut deserve to live in peace and security, free from the constant threat of violence and destruction.
The situation in Beirut is dire, and the residents are in urgent need of support and assistance. It is crucial for world leaders to act swiftly to address the root causes of the conflict and work towards a sustainable peace that will ensure the safety and well-being of all those affected by the violence.
