In the coastal city of Tyre, after a U.S.-Iran preliminary deal to end the war in the region was signed, residents returned to neighborhoods reduced to rubble by Israeli strikes.
Apartment buildings stand gutted, streets are lined with debris, and families are beginning to assess the damage left behind. A strike near Jabal Amel Hospital damaged parts of the facility, underscoring the toll the fighting has taken on civilian infrastructure.
Farther south, communities near the Israeli border remain isolated by ongoing security restrictions and military activity.
In the Christian village of Ain Ebel, cut off from much of the rest of Lebanon by fighting and Israeli checkpoints, residents depend on aid deliveries coordinated through humanitarian organizations. A convoy organized by the Order of Malta brought livestock, feed and other supplies to farmers and residents facing months of disruption.
