UN Official Shares Life Under Fire in Southern Lebanon

Kandice Ardiel, a staff member of the United Nations, has released a video diary detailing her experiences living in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military’s recent attacks on Tyre have left her apartment damaged, prompting her to relocate to a UN office in Naqoura.

In the video, Kandice describes her daily life under the current situation. She mentions that she and other residents have been forced to evacuate their homes due to ongoing conflicts. Nearby explosions have also become a regular occurrence, causing concern for those living in the area.

Kandice’s video diary provides an intimate look at the challenges faced by those living in southern Lebanon during this time. Unfortunately, her cat was left behind when she had to leave her apartment, highlighting the difficulties of leaving behind personal belongings.

The UN office in Naqoura has provided Kandice with a temporary residence, allowing her to continue working for the organization. The video diary serves as a reminder of the ongoing situation in southern Lebanon and the impact it is having on those living there.
