“Thank God, we’ve returned to our homes and land,” says Hajje Zaynab Ayoub, known as Um Jamil, who suffers from hypertension. Displaced from her hometown of Harouf to a collective shelter in Beirut during the war, Hajje Zaynab received medical care from MSF’s mobile medical units while there. Upon returning to her hometown in the Nabatieh governorate, she was delighted to find our teams still there to support her close to home.

“I was so happy to see them again, this time near my house.”

Since the ceasefire, thousands of families have returned to their towns and villages in southern Lebanon, while many others from border towns remain displaced and unable to go back.

MSF’s mobile medical units continue to provide healthcare and psychological support in the South, Nabatieh, Baalbek-Hermel, Beirut, and Bekaa governorates to support returnees and affected communities.
