How the conflict in Alma al-Shaab has impacted its residents

The conflict in Alma al-Shaab has led to the displacement of around 800 residents, with only about 100 left in the village. Israeli missile attacks have destroyed homes and agricultural land in the picturesque village, leading to an uncertain future for its residents. The ongoing conflict has brought back memories of past conflicts in Lebanon and has taken a toll on the mental, physical, and economic well-being of the villagers. Many have been forced to flee to cities like Beirut and Sidon, disrupting their lives and livelihoods. The situation poses challenges for those who wish to return to their homes but face the risk of continued attacks and displacement. The impact of the conflict extends beyond the physical destruction, affecting the social fabric and emotional well-being of the residents who long for peace and a return to normalcy. It is a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and the challenges faced by those caught in the crossfire.
