By the time a ceasefire began last November ending the devastating war in Lebanon between Hezbollah fighters and the Israeli military, more than 4,000 people had been killed and at least 16,600 injured.

The violence also uprooted hundreds of thousands and caused widespread damage to key infrastructure, exacerbating Lebanon’s long-running, multi-pronged crisis.

Ghada Darwiche is one of those grieving: she lost her daughter, Dina, a UNHCR staffer who worked at the refugee agency’s office in Bekaa. She was killed along with her youngest son, Jad, when their home was hit by an Israeli missile on 23 September last year.

To mark International Women’s Day, UN News’s Nancy Sarkis spoke to Ghada, who has a message to all those who have lost someone in war.
