In Lebanon’s mountains, coasts, and border towns, war does not simply kill—it hollows out lives, spirits, and futures. How War Devours Life in Lebanon is a first-hand account of survival amid Israeli airstrikes that have targeted homes, schools, medics, and the dead alike.
This series follows ordinary people—fishermen, mothers, artists, refugees—forced into extraordinary resilience. Children flinch at drones, recite prayers under rubble, and lose the language of play. Displacement is constant; safety, an illusion. In towns like Nabatieh and Tyre, war criminalises existence itself—fishing, farming, even walking by the sea.
And yet, defiance endures. Barbers open shops. Mothers walk the waterfront. Coffee carts roll out each morning. Every act of normalcy is a quiet protest against erasure.
This work bears witness to a people who do not just survive war—they resist it with every breath.
