\n Several aid workers told CNN that Lebanese people are still struggling to piece back their communities and livelihoods, after Israel\u2019s offensive in Gaza spilled into Lebanon these past two years.\n <\/p>\n
\n Now, those trying to survive renewed Israeli military attacks are being psychologically retraumatized by the sound of strikes, scenes of mass displacement and increased bloodshed as shelter becomes scarce, relief staffers say.\n <\/p>\n
\n One humanitarian worker warned that \u201ceven small triggers, like a door slamming, cause people to jump in fear, reliving past experiences of violence and loss.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cEach airstrike is not just a new danger: It brings back traumas from previous conflicts, including past wars and the Beirut blast,\u201d Cyril Bassil, a staffer for CARE International in Lebanon, told CNN by email on Tuesday.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe mental health of Lebanese communities, already severely strained by years of conflict, economic crises and social tension, is now further deteriorating under these attacks,\u201d Bassil said. \u201cIn Beirut, the mood is one of pervasive fear, uncertainty and sleepless nights. The combined physical and psychological toll is immense.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Between October 2023 and November 27, 2024, Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed more than 3,961 people, including 248 children, Human Rights Watch reported<\/a>, citing the Lebanese Health Ministry. Entire villages were razed<\/a>, and swaths of the capital, Beirut, were reduced to debris following the fierce Israeli campaign<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n \n Another aid worker warned that humanitarian staff are inadequately prepared for the scale and scope of attacks.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThere\u2019s no response preparedness,\u201d Maya Andari, the director of program quality for CARE International in Lebanon, told CNN in a voice message on Wednesday. \u201cPeople are extremely, extremely tired. They\u2019re not ready for this.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several aid workers told CNN that Lebanese people are still struggling to piece back their communities and livelihoods,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,7788,21627,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-322406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-hnk","tag-intl","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
