INTERVIEW: An Australian stuck in Beirut tells SBS she fears she won't make it out of Lebanon

Two Royal Australian Air Force planes have landed in Cyprus, as the government prepares to evacuate Australian citizens from Beirut. Around 1700 Australians have told the Department of Foreign Affairs they want to leave Lebanon, as Israel’s incursion into the country’s south continues. Sydney mother Marie Shebl is one of them. She has booked a commercial flight on the 11th of October, but as fighting intensifies, she is worried she won’t make it out. Marie speaks with SBS Political Correspondent Sara Tomevska.
