People are somewhat optimistic.
Fairouz: "Life is back to normal. People go out, shops are open. People are somewhat optimistic. I went out yesterday and today. I called Mercy Corps office to check if they were working the next day. I also spoke with the leaders of Global Youth Connectivity and we met at the office.
"Psychologically I am affected by what happened. We lost people, many houses were destroyed. No one knows how the school year will continue, let alone the fear of another war. We are also left without water or electricity, so we have to adjust to a new lifestyle with many things missing."
