Beirut: Less than a week after a fragile ceasefire was announced in Lebanon, a senior Anglophone journalist in the country has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the devastation people are seeing as they start to return home. Thousands of homes have been destroyed in the conflict, and more than a million people displaced.

According to France24.com, Iva Kovic-Chahine, the head of LOrient Today, highlighted how people are closely following the peace process between Iran and the US, as Lebanon has become something of a card played by Tehran. She spoke to FRANCE 24 in Perspective, shedding light on the critical situation faced by those who have been uprooted from their homes.

The journalist's insights underscore the challenges ahead for Lebanon, as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the conflict and the broader geopolitical implications involving major powers like Iran and the US. The return to normalcy for many displaced individuals remains uncertain, as efforts to rebuild and restore peace are underway.
