Because of cancer, yeah.

So you were living with your sisters, brothers and your mother?

So you see this as, if you show pain, it could be interpreted as a sign of weakness.

A few days later, I manage to get into southern Beirut, into Dahyeh, the district Zainab calls home.

It's just two or three miles away from where she's staying at the shelter.

In one street, we get to see the impact of a missile strike.

The only thing I'm seeing in front of me is a very large mound of rubble where everything is just sheer destruction in front of me.

You can see lots of concrete, but also metal, cardboard.

It must have been a series of buildings that were brought to the floor.

Like in close-ups, we can see

You know, details of what was live here, like a shirt or the bag of some spices.

This must have been from some kitchen.

A handful of workers are here clearing away the debris, but this once busy district is otherwise empty.

Dahye has been an area completely deserted because of the blanket evacuation warning by the Israelis for weeks.

Actually, people have not returned to this area.

It can't be inhabitable at the moment because it lacks lots of services.

All the buildings around us are empty.

There are lots of shops.

They're all closed.

And some of the doors are completely broken.
