In heavy rain, Lebanese fleeing war huddle under makeshift shelters

BEIRUT: Hussain Murtada and his ‌family are camping in the back of a small truck, a flimsy tarpaulin shielding them from a storm on Sunday, with no room left at shelters for displaced ​people in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon. “We are putting tarp over it because we’re soaked,” said Murtada, using string to fasten the plastic sheet over the back of the truck parked on the seafront. Inside, an infant peered out, surrounded by pillows, blankets and other possessions.
