Aline Saeed, a seven-year-old Lebanese girl, survives an Israeli strike while attending her father’s funeral. The attack killed her infant sister and other relatives amid a declared U.S.-Iran ceasefire that failed to bring peace to Lebanon. Over 350 have died amidst continued assault, amplifying calls for human rights respect.

In the war-torn landscape of Lebanon, seven-year-old Aline Saeed stands as a symbol of survival amid tragedy. Wrapped in blood-soaked bandages, she narrowly escaped an Israeli attack on her village home in Srifa, aimed at burying her father.

The heavy strikes killed over 350 people in Lebanon, sparking outrage over escalating violence and the urgent cry for humanitarian attention to the plight of civilians caught in conflict.
