A week ago, the small Christian village of Deir el Ahmar – 12,000 inhabitants at the foot of the Lebanese mountains – welcomed nearly 20,000 displaced people fleeing bombings in the Bekaa valley. As collective accommodation had been saturated for a long time, many people lived in their cars. And the thousand families housed in the village school could only count on one hot meal per day.
But on Friday, there were almost no displaced people left, thanks to the truce. A blessing for the local mayor who was worried about the supply of food and fuel during the winter months, one road being blocked by snow and the other constantly bombed. As for the Beirut region, on Friday it saw more than 80% of displaced people leave collective accommodation structures.
