Displaced Lebanese hesitant to return home as lasting truce uncertain

"I am afraid to return to my home because the situation is not stable yet," the displaced mother of four told AFP from her campsite on the capital's seafront. The ceasefire, which entered its second day Saturday, has granted many people the chance to check on their homes in areas where Hezbollah holds sway, like the southern suburbs, which were heavily bombed by Israel. Hajoul found her apartment lightly damaged, with broken windows, but was only there to "bathe the children and get summer clothes" as temperatures started to rise.
