More than 1.2 million people have been displaced by fighting in Lebanon, many of them unable to find shelter.
In some parts of southern Lebanon, residents began going back after the ceasefire was announced.

Israel launched the airstrike as the U.S.
and Iran said they were close to signing a ceasefire agreement.
Iran has said that any ceasefire with the U.S.
must include a ceasefire in Lebanon, and it has warned Israel in particular not to attack the Lebanese capital.
An Israeli statement said the attack was in retaliation for Iran-backed Hezbollah firing at northern Israel.
The militant group has been fighting Israeli forces occupying southern Lebanon and has also fired drones across the border.
Video posted on social media showed smoke rising from an apartment building on a residential street in Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has offices.

NPR's Jane Raff has this report from Beirut.
The ancient port of Tyre is an important Roman site conquered by Alexander the Great and key to a powerful maritime empire.
On Sunday, an Israeli airstrike cracked some of the 2,000-year-old walls, damaged columns, and shifted ancient capitals in what is known as the Egyptian port.
An antiquities official, Nader Saqlawi, tells NPR.
He says some of the damage was caused when metal parts of a generator went flying following a strike that destroyed a century-old heritage house.
Israel says it is launching attacks on Hezbollah in Tyre on Lebanon's southern coast.
It did not say what it was targeting in that strike Sunday.
