In the midst of ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the city of Nabatieh has become a ghost town. FRANCE 24 reporters recently gained rare access to the city, where residents have been ordered to evacuate by Israeli forces. The once bustling city now lies eerily empty, with only a few remaining residents and emergency workers who are coming under fire.
The situation in Nabatieh is a stark reminder of the toll that war takes on civilians. The intensive campaign of air strikes by Israel has left the city in ruins, with buildings destroyed and residents forced to flee for their lives. The recent killing of the city’s mayor in one of these strikes has only added to the sense of chaos and fear in the city.
Despite the devastation, there are still those who remain in Nabatieh, determined to rebuild and reclaim their city. The bravery of these individuals is a testament to the resilience of the Lebanese people in the face of adversity.
As the conflict continues to escalate, it is crucial for the international community to step in and support the residents of Nabatieh and other affected areas. The people of Lebanon deserve to live in peace and security, free from the threat of violence and destruction.
