"When Israeli missiles destroyed entire homes in my neighborhood in southern Lebanon's city of Tyre, we decided it was time to save our lives again. More than 227,549 people had crossed the three official border points from Lebanon into Syria, according to the latest numbers from the United Nation's International Organization for Migration (IOM)."
"Lebanon's health authorities say the death toll from Israel's attacks on the Hezbollah militia is around 2,196. Estimates of how many Syrians are among the killed and injured range widely, from 39 to 315."
"Once Qashit and his family arrived back in their home town Maarat al-Numan near Aleppo, they found their house completely destroyed as a result of Syria's civil war. There are no houses for rent as the whole city is destroyed."
Imad Omar Qashit fled Syria to Lebanon fourteen years ago but returned due to Israeli missile strikes in Lebanon. Over 227,549 people crossed from Lebanon to Syria, with 95% being Syrians. The death toll from Israeli attacks on Hezbollah is around 2,196. More than 1 million Syrian refugees remain in Lebanon, with many unregistered. Since March, over 270,000 Syrians returned to Syria, but the country is unprepared for their arrival. Upon returning, Qashit found his home destroyed and no available housing in his city.
