Lebanese mother shelters with newborn twins after renewed fighting forces family to flee: Video
A Lebanese mother displaced by renewed violence has been living in a classroom turned emergency shelter in the southern city of Sidon, caring for her newborn twin sons after fleeing her home.
Footage captured on Monday, April 13, showed Ghada holding her infants, Mohammed and Mahdi, inside a classroom at the Lebanese University Hall in Sidon, where displaced families have taken refuge. The room has been converted into a makeshift shelter as residents escape the fighting.
Ghada said the twins were born 17 years after her older children. The family had already been displaced once during the conflict in November 2023 but returned home in March 2025, hoping the situation had stabilised.
Their hopes were short-lived when violence resumed about a year later, forcing them to evacuate again.
