From Lebanon, Palestinian Fatima al-Ashwah has been praying for relatives in Gaza, but received grim news that Israeli bombing killed around 12 of them days before a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas.
“They bombed their house,” leaving some of them “in pieces,” said Ashwah, drained by weeks of anguish and days of grief.
She is among an estimated 250,000 Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon, most of them in poverty, according to the United Nations.
