Eighty percent of residents have returned to the southern Lebanese city of Tyre following months of Israeli bombardment, which struck the city 36 times and prompted repeated forced displacement orders. Among those rebuilding are cousins Roula Ibrahim and Mona Hweidy, civil engineers and business managers who now run a street vegetable stall metres from where an Israeli air strike destroyed their parents' flower shop of 30 years. Soaring rents — rising to five times pre-war levels — have made reopening a permanent premises impossible. The cousins say the south feels abandoned by the rest of Lebanon, but remain determined to support their families and community. Al Jazeera's Heidi Pett reports from Tyre, South Lebanon.
