In the aftermath of the Israel-Hezbollah war that ravaged Khiam, Lebanon, residents like Sabah Abdullah are grappling with the destruction left in its wake. Abdullah, a 66-year-old, now resides in a rented home in Kawkaba, trying to piece together her life after her small grocery store was badly damaged during the 13-month conflict that ended in late November.
The war, brokered by the U.S., resulted in over 4,000 deaths, 16,000 wounded, and billions of dollars in damages in Lebanon. While damage can be compensated, the loss of lives remains irreplaceable, as Abdullah reflects on the tragedy that befell her community.
