The Israeli army dropped leaflets on Tyre right now, warning those returning to their homes in the South not to go back before the deployment of the Lebanese army.
This picture has been taken in front of the school of “St. Joseph de L’apparition” at Zoqaq El Balat - Beirut - at 9 15 am while going to mass.
As soon as the ceasefire was implemented, many families started packing their belongings and left. So half of the 2 schools we usually visit were already empty. Today there’s nobody left and apparently this goes for all the other centers, schools and public gardens were the displaced used to live. The army warned not to go back immediately, knowing that several rockets did not explode yet. It is very dangerous in those attacked areas both in the South and in the Southern suburbs.
As for the displaced staying with their relatives in their houses, many of them are still here. So we have to discern how to plan the post war stategy. Today is the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. I just came from Mass and World vision called if I could open Ayadina premises; they have stock to put. There will be another distribution on Friday as planned.
