Israel Continues Attacks On Lebanon Amid US-Iran Ceasefire Deal

NORTHERN ISRAEL, ISRAEL, - APRIL 15: Israeli armored personnel carriers move near destroyed houses in Southern Lebanon, as seen from a position on the Israeli side of the border on April 15, 2026 in Northern Israel, Israel. Israel and Lebanon's ambassadors have held historic talks in Washington, the first direct diplomatic meeting between the two sides in decades. During the two-week ceasefire period between the US and Iran, Israel and the Iran-backed militant group, Hezbollah, have continued fighting. On April 8 Israel intensified strikes on what it says were Hezbollah targets, killing more than 350 people, according to health officials in Lebanon.

Isa ang migrant workers sa Lebanon sa pinaka-apektadong sektor mula nang sumiklab ang digmaan sa Middle East, at ayon sa mga eksperto, naiipit sila sa krisis sa ekonomiya na unti-unting sumisira sa kanilang seguridad at sense of belongingness.


Key Points
  • Si Nancy, isang Filipina domestic worker sa Dahieh, Beirut, ay 23 taon nang naninirahan at nagtatrabaho sa Lebanon, kung saan nasaksihan niya ang sunod-sunod na krisis at digmaan mula 2006 hanggang sa mga kamakailang tensyon noong 2023 hanggang ngayong 2026.
  • Ang Philippine Embassy sa Lebanon ay aktibo sa repatriation o pagpapauwi ng mga Pilipinong manggagawa, lalo na ang mga nais nang umalis dahil sa nawalan ang trabaho at panganib.
  • Ayon kay Dr. Paul Tabar, matagal nang bahagi ng Lebanon ang migrant workers mula pa noong 1975 at nahahati sila sa dalawang grupo, ngunit karamihan ay nasa ilalim ng kafala labour system na kontrolado ng employer, na ayon sa kanya ay hindi makatarungan dahil wala silang tiyak na oras ng trabaho, kulang sa proteksyon, at madalas nakaasa sa kagustuhan ng kanilang mga amo.
