On a street in downtown Beirut there’s a five-storey building – a derelict hotel.

It was empty for years, until recently, when hundreds of displaced people started arriving.

Their experience of fleeing southern Beirut to find safety in the city’s busy neighbourhoods is being repeated across Lebanon right now as Israel’s bombardments continue.

There has been a massive effort to help shelter the one million displaced Lebanese, but in this building and in many others they aren’t always welcome, with religious divides from the civil war still palpable, decades on.

Today, journalist Heidi Pett on the old wounds being re-opened in Lebanon.
