Under the sound of airstrikes and in empty streets, Wafaa chose to stay in her village in southern #Lebanon, holding on to memories, her land, and the people she once shared daily life with. As danger grew closer and friends were lost in the #conflict, life was reshaped by war.

Some IHL violations happen in plain sight. Others happen in the shadows — in cells, detention centres and interrogation rooms.
