President Biden answered questions from reporters at the White House today,

including about Israel's response to the Iranian missile attack and

Lala Molana Allen reports now from Sidon on Lebanon's southern coast as exhausted

Exhausted and traumatized.

They're all needed to house the more than 1.2 million already displaced from their homes by the violence.

On every available surface, mattresses to sleep on, trees repurposed for laundry. Those unlucky enough to find the shelters full are ending up on

the street in the baking heat and pouring rain.

Everything is destroyed back home. It's an all-out war. We fled under constant airstrikes.

Krollid and his five young kids fled north a few days ago. They've nowhere else to go.

Here it's safer, but it's a disaster for the children and women.
