In addition to causing casualties, Israeli air strikes on Lebanon over the past few days have also led to the displacement of a large number of Lebanon people.
In order to escape the attack of the Israeli army, many Lebanon people with their families and simple luggage set up simple tents and slept on the streets on the famous scenic spot of the capital Beirut.
As the capital of Lebanon, Beirut is an excellent port city on the east coast of the Eastern Mediterranean and one of the commercial, transportation, financial and cultural centers of the Middle East, attracting a large number of tourists every year. The Corniche is one of Beirut's most popular promenades, about 5 kilometres long and covered with palm trees. Today, as far as the eye can see on Beirut's esplanade, there are no tourists for leisurely sightseeing, only simple tents set up by Lebanon people.
Mohammed, Displaced Man: We have 5 people living here together, and we chose to live here because it is the safest place at the moment. So far, it hasn't been bombed, and it's currently the safest place.
Some displaced people say they don't have access to relief food and clean water if they live here, but they would rather do so than die of Israeli bombing.
Displaced Om: We have been displaced and can only sit on the streets. We don't care if we die or not, we just don't want to die at the hands of the Israeli army. We'd rather die on the streets because of lack of food and water.
