As war nears two months, displaced Lebanese family sinks into despair

By Raghed Waked and Zohra Bensemra BEIRUT, April 28 (Reuters) – 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.
