Abir Mohamed El-Masri

46-year-old Abir Mohamed El-Masri has been living in a tent in a parking lot with her six kids for nearly seven weeks.

Many of the more than one million people displaced in Lebanon during this war have headed back to the south, where much of the fighting was happening, despite warnings not to.

But Israel is still occupying about 10 percent of the country after destroying whole villages to create what it calls a buffer zone to keep Hezbollah from firing rockets into Israel.

Lebanese people from those villages cannot return.
