Thousands Of Lebanese Return South As Ceasefire Takes Effect
Thousands of displaced Lebanese residents have begun returning to their villages in southern Lebanon as a ceasefire agreement came into effect. The deal, announced by Donald Trump, marked an end to a recent period of intensified military escalation in the region.
Crossing Through a Damaged Jisr Al-Qasmiyah
In a scene reflecting both destruction and resilience, returnees made their way back through the Qasmiyah Bridge despite significant damage caused by Israeli strikes on infrastructure during the conflict. The bridge remained a key passage point despite its deteriorated condition.
Locals Restore Basic Access by Hand
Residents took it upon themselves to carry out basic repairs on the bridge, laying layers of soil and rubble over damaged sections to allow limited passage for both vehicles and pedestrians. No official engineering work has been carried out so far to restore the structure.
Long-Awaited Return After Hard Displacement
The bridge quickly became a major crossing point for returnees, with traffic congestion building up as vehicles lined the roads leading to it. Many chose to continue on foot, carrying whatever belongings they could manage, after a difficult period of displacement marked by harsh living conditions and limited access to basic services.
