RT's Steve Sweeney reports on destroyed homes, children's belongings buried in rubble, and a city living in fear of the next attack
Israel has carried out multiple strikes across Lebanon over the past 24 hours, fueling fears that the escalating violence could unravel a fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran.
The expanded offensive in Lebanon since March 2 has killed 1,888 people and wounded 6,092 others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. It says the April 8 bombardment alone involved "over 100 strikes within minutes," leaving more than 300 dead and in excess of 1,100 injured.
RT's Steve Sweeney, who, along with his cameraman Ali Rida, was caught up in this week's Israeli strikes on central Beirut, reports from the Lebanese capital on the aftermath, where shattered residential buildings, children's school bags and household belongings lie scattered in the rubble, and the seafront is filled with displaced families sheltering in makeshift tents.
Residents live with an "overwhelming sense of anxiety," fearing that "every sound" could signal another strike, he says.
