Lebanon Beirut Residents again adjust to crisis
The Bank of Lebanon, Hamra District, Beirut, Lebanon on August 9, 2006. Read any travel guide book on Lebanon and you will be informed that Beirut is a busy, vibrant city with many exclusive shops, restaurants and a thriving night life. However, with the constant Israeli bombardment and gradual ground offensive Beirut has become a shadow of its former self; many residents have fled to Syria, Cyprus or further afield to Europe and the US. Others have have left the city for the relative safety of the surrounding mountains or the north of the country. Those that remain rarely venture outside their apartments. Whilst some shops remain open many are closed and food and fuel are becoming harder to come by. Consequently, Beirut's once busy streets are now largely populated by refugees from the suburbs and the south of the country who have been forced from their homes by the Israeli military force.

Lebanon Palestians flee Nahr al-Bared refugee camp
An elderly Palestinian woman sits in a car after being evacuated by a Red Crescent ambulance fleeing Nahr el-Bared refugee camp, after clashes between the Lebanese military and militants from Fatah Islam continued into the second week of fighting, in northern Lebanon on Sunday, June 3, 2007.
**The Lebanese Army has been engaged in a battle with Fatah-al-Islam, an Islamist militant organization, since May 20, 2007, when fighting broke out in the Nahr-al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp. The escalation which has followed, has been the most severe internal conflict since the end of Lebanon's 15 year civil war (1975-1990). During the fighting, the Lebanese army has taken heavy casualties, losing more than 70 soldiers already.
The Lebanese Army, for years underfunded and neglected, kept in a minor role by the factions and Syrian armed forces that controlled the country, has been forced to assume a new, active role. The force remains inexperienced and ill-equipped, however, lacking critical supplies and training. Although the US has rushed supplies to the army, their recent incursions into the Nahr el-Bared camp have exposed the vast array of problems they face.
