    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nancy Faraj was eating lunch with her family at her home in the village of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon when Israel bombed the house next door, killing two of her neighbours.

    Within hours she and her family had grabbed a handful of possessions and headed north-west for the city of Tyre, 50 miles (80km) south of Beirut, where they are now living in a school with several hundred others.

    Local authorities in Tyre, a pretty seaside city with ancient ruins, are registering between 200 and 300 newly displaced people each day.

    In the small town of Naqoura, 1.5 miles from the boundary with Israel, a pile of tangled rubble is all that remains of a house hit in an Israeli strike last week.

    The reality, however, is that about 10,000 “trajectories” have been tracked across the blue line separating the two countries – munitions both large and small, fired by both sides in exchanges that have become constant, according to observers.

    Those who could afford to rent are running out of money and we’ve seen people who were displaced to Beirut now coming back to Tyre because it is easier to get help here,” he said.
