In eastern Lebanon right now, there is a frantic race to create shelter. Schools, universities and sports halls are being transformed into relief centres for those who've been forced from their homes. As night fell in the town of Qob Elias, 25 miles from Baalbek, we found a technical college being cleared out by a group of local volunteers. Desks, tables and chairs were removed; mattresses, medical kits and drinking water were carried in. We came across Iman and her family of five.
'This is not true,' Iman insists, her voice trembling with rage. 'They are targeting the houses of civilians, they are striking randomly, they destroyed properties and killed people. 'What have we done wrong? What is the guilt of these children? We don't side with anyone, we are public sector workers, we are farmers, we are not fighting.
