Despite the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the residents of Rmeish, a Lebanese border town, choose to remain in their homes. Located just 2km from the border, the town has not received evacuation orders, though many residents face severe destruction, with 90% of houses damaged and dwindling supplies. Farmer Jiries al-Alam expresses concern for the upcoming winter, while priest George al-Ameel emphasizes the community’s desire for peace. The UN reports over 640,000 people displaced in southern Lebanon, but the determined residents of Rmeish continue to assert their right to stay.
