"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.'"
"'The explosions are so loud,' she tells DW. 'A lot of people here are afraid and sleep fully dressed.'"
"'Because he is able to help, we managed to get two tents,' Fatme explains. Her husband, a carpenter, has been helping others in the building."
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 within the shelter. The ongoing conflict has intensified, with Israeli attacks spreading beyond known conflict zones, causing fear among residents, especially at night due to loud explosions.
