‘We’re Still Living in *****’: Escaping the Attacks in LebanonTens of thousands of people have been displaced in Lebanon. Khaled Hussein, 20, fled Syria as a child. He describes the bombardment that forced his family to flee again.

Khaled Hussein, filmed this video from his home near the Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh. It shows an ******** airstrike hitting just a few hundred meters away and hide here on base. As the bombings continued, Khaled and his family decided they had to escape. They’re now among at least 800 people taking shelter at this U.N. facility south of Beirut after fleeing the fighting between ******* and Hezbollah. Since last week, ******** airstrikes on Lebanon have ******* more than 700 people and forced more than 90,000 to leave their homes. For Khaled, like many of the people sheltering here, it’s not the first time he’s been forced to flee war. In just a matter of days, hundreds of facilities like this have been set up across Lebanon to shelter people displaced by *********. Many of the people here are Syrian and ************ refugees living in Lebanon. For Imad Ahmed, a ************ ******** living in southern Lebanon, it’s the third time he’s had to flee a war with *******. But this time, he’s had to do it with his children. Outside, dozens of people are hoping to get in, but being turned away because the facility doesn’t have the space to welcome them. The growing number of internally displaced has Lebanese authorities worried of a looming humanitarian crisis if the fighting continues.
