A new trend has emerged on social media platforms where residents of Gaza are creating videos to warn Lebanese citizens about the potential consequences of war. This comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah along the northern border.
Gazans are producing instructional videos and personal messages directed at Lebanese audiences, according to an article by Ynet.
These videos give the Lebanese advice on how to prepare for potential displacement: Prepare emergency bags with essentials (money, gold, personal documents), pack winter clothing for children and don't forget personal hygiene products.
Chef Hala al-Akhsham shared practical advice based on her experience of multiple displacements, while Wasim, a resident in the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone, urged against fighting, stating "War only brings destruction and sets you back decades." Mohamed al-Majaydeh, displaced to Deir al-Balah, described war as "death and humiliation."
This trend reflects the experiences of Gazans following the events of October 7 and the subsequent conflict, as they attempt to warn others about the realities of war.
