It has been nearly two months, ​but Rabih Khreiss still has trouble recognising his new life. The father-of-nine could once put food on the table through his car workshop in southern Lebanon, but is now barely surviving in a tent in the capital Beirut. Like so many others, the Khreiss family fled their southern hometown of Khiyam in the early ​hours of March ‌2, moments after learning that the Hezbollah armed group had fired into Israel in what would become the opening salvos ⁠of a new war.
