Additional Information / Shotlist 0:01 – 0:05 I am Maram, a Health Promotion Supervisor with MSF.
0:05 – 0:07 On Monday morning at 6:30am,
0:07 – 0:10 we woke up to hysterical strikes against mountains and valleys,
0:10 – 0:13 shelling villages from Baalbeck to Hermel.
0:13 – 0:15 Children woke up frightened,
0:15 – 0:17 and people went outside.
0:17 – 0:20 All we could hear was the sound of ambulance sirens.
0:20 – 0:22 We saw smoke with each strike,
0:22 – 0:25 and the bombardment was very close to houses.
0:25 – 0:30 My work colleagues left their homes in Hermel, Al-Ain and Laboueh,
0:30 – 0:34 and took refuge in schools or uncovered houses out of fear.
0:34 – 0:37 People started rushing to gas stations,
0:37 – 0:42 shops and pharmacies to stock up in case of an emergency.
0:42 – 0:44 People who left their homes
0:44 – 0:47 need all kinds of support.
0:47 – 0:49 Everyone is scared and worried
0:49 – 0:51 and no one knows where to seek safety.
0:51 – 0:55 The strikes in the Northern Bekaa have not stopped for three days now
0:55 – 0:58 and the sounds of drones and jets never leave us.
0:58 – 1:03 With every strike, people are losing their lives, including children.
1:03 – 1:07 The future is unknown and deciding what to do is very difficult.
1:07 – 1:10 Everyone seeks safety for their families and children.
