Displaced People Protest Eviction - Beirut
A protest erupted in response to the Lebanese police and military's second attempt to evict around 400 displaced people sheltering in a building in Hamra, Beirut. Activists joined the residents to oppose the eviction, and what began as a peaceful resistance quickly escalated into clashes, resulting in several injuries. Following the day's protests and clashes, they were eventually allowed back inside the building. The displaced individuals had initially been allowed to stay with the landlord's consent, but the property was later reclaimed by the owner. The police proposed to relocate the group to an empty building in Sabra. However, this offer was met with hesitation, as the area is near the southern suburbs, which have faced heavy bombardment in recent weeks. Beirut, Lebanon, October 21, 2024.
