When leaving isn’t an option, Lebanese people have to resort to religious houses and schools for protection.
In response to the escalating crisis and the displacement of Southern citizens, churches across Lebanon have opened their doors to displaced Lebanese people regardless of religion.
The image showing the church hosting displaced Lebanese from the South went viral across Lebanon.
As the situation intensifies, many families have fled their homes seeking shelter and safety. Over 100,000 Lebanese have spent the majority of their day on the road, making their way from the South to Beirut. Some still are stuck in traffic to this very instant while some are taking the road to Syria.
People are uncertain where to seek refuge. Many apartments have been listed for free or at low-cost rents to accommodate the wave of displaced citizens fleeing for their lives. Many schools and institutions have also opened their doors to provide for and lodge the displaced citizens.
Churches have taken it upon themselves to provide shelter, food, and necessities to the Lebanese people.
