This bombing has been going on for weeks. 
Yas, I'm wondering, some people have left, some have fled and gone north, some have stayed. 
What's the calculus families are making? 
These are their memories. 
Where are they going to go? 
I mean, there's tent cities set up here in Beirut. 
And they are living essentially in they're living inside four walls, many of them. 
I I met this other woman today, uh, the mother of of two young girls. 
She survived the strike on her home and she says she tells her daughter every day, "This is your home. 
This is your land. 
You cannot leave. 
Even if you are scared, this is where we belong." 
>> Whenever they hear a plane, they say, "Mom, the plane is coming to destroy our toys." 
I tried to comfort them. 
I would tell them if we leave we are handing our home over to Israelis.
