Lebanon is preparing to celebrate Eid al-Fitr this year under heavy burdens of sorrow and pain, particularly due to ongoing Israeli attacks that have led to a large displacement of people. Many residents have been forced into the streets and temporary shelters, exacerbating the already bleak situation during this festive period.

As the Eid festivities approach, the conditions for the displaced are harsh, made worse by poor weather and continuous threats from Israeli forces to evacuate areas in the south, the suburbs, and the Bekaa Valley. This has created an atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty for many, who are trying to find a semblance of normalcy in a time that is supposed to be celebratory.

A report from Al Jazeera correspondent Maysa Fattah details the challenging conditions faced by those affected, highlighting their struggles during this important religious holiday. The ongoing conflict and its ramifications highlight the pressing humanitarian issues faced by Lebanon, underscoring the need for greater international attention to the plight of the displaced in the region.
