"Fatme spends most of her time inside her tent. She isn't even that keen to go to the bathroom here. 'You have to queue and everybody looks at you,' she confides. 'I get embarrassed.'"
"During the day she tries to carry on as usual. But the nights are more difficult. 'The explosions are so loud,' she tells DW. 'A lot of people here are afraid and sleep fully dressed.'"
Fatme A. resides in the Azarieh buildings in Beirut, where around 250 families are displaced and living in makeshift tents. The shelter provides basic amenities like water and a communal kitchen, but lacks privacy and space. Fatme feels embarrassed using shared facilities and spends most of her time inside her tent with her family. Her husband helps others by repairing and organizing. The nights are particularly difficult due to loud explosions from ongoing conflict, causing fear among residents.
