Residents return to destroyed homes

Families from south Lebanon's Tyre are returning to their homes after an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, but Israeli strikes have turned parts of the city into an uninhabitable disaster zone without water or electricity.

Near the still-smoking ruins of a building, a family laden with their suitcases makes its way up a darkened staircase to discover their flat with all its windows and doors blown out. Only the living room remains intact.

"I wasn't expecting such damage. We saw the pictures, but the reality is harder," said Dunia Najdeh.

As she struggled to protect her children from the shards of glass interspersed between their books and toys, her father-in-law Sleiman Najdeh looked on with despair at the devastation wrought upon the ancient city.
