‘No choice’: Calgary woman says she feels stranded in Lebanon
Description
October 12, 2024
Despite the violence, many Lebanese-Canadians are choosing to remain in Lebanon.

Heather Yourex-West speaks with a Calgary woman stranded in a small Lebanese village, who says she feels she has “no choice” but to stay.
