Lebanon: A nation under siege, searching for an elusive peace

Lebanon is on the brink of destruction, enduring Israel's relentless attacks. In the past 24 hours, 138 airstrikes hit the south, the southern suburbs of Beirut and the district of Beqaa, bringing the total number of strikes to 10,150. Entire communities are reduced to rubble. The real devastation, however, occurs in the hearts and minds of the Lebanese people, especially their children, who live in constant fear under the roar of fighter jets.

The human toll is devastating. In just 24 hours, many innocent lives were lost, and countless other people were injured. The sad overall number of martyrs has now surpassed 2,400, with over 11,200 injured. Hospitals, already overcrowded, struggle to cope with the countless victims. Doctors and nurses work tirelessly to save lives, but how can they heal the souls of people who have lost their homes, livelihoods and loved ones?
