A pregnant displaced Lebanese woman Ghada Issa, stands in front of her tent inside a public school, which was converted into a shelter facility for displaced people, in Beirut on April 1, 2026. Issa, 36, is due to have a baby girl in just a few weeks. But "this place, this environment, is not for pregnant women", said Issa, who was displaced from south Lebanon with her husband, their daughter Siham, five, and son Ali, four. They are staying in a cramped tent and even the most basic things are a problem, she said, like having to make frequent trips to crowded, far-away communal toilets in the late stages of pregnancy.
