- Thousands of children remain displaced in southern Lebanon six months after leaving their hometowns.

- The schoolyard remains active despite the heat and distant sounds of Israeli airstrikes.
The schoolyard in southern Lebanon is filled with the sounds of children playing, even as the sun beats down and Israeli airstrikes boom in the distance. For thousands of children displaced from their homes, however, the public school is not a place to study.
It is where they live.
Six months after leaving their hometowns in southern Lebanon, many children remain displaced as schools reopen. The school buildings have become shelters for young people who would otherwise be returning to classrooms.
