Photographer Aline Deschamps on documenting Lebanese resistance

Aline Deschamps is a photojournalist who has documented life in Lebanon as the country was once again drawn into conflict with Israel. Having lived in Beirut for five years, Deschamps did not initially set out to be a war photographer. Her work focuses on how ordinary people—students, entrepreneurs, and teachers—come together during times of crisis to support one another. In this interview with FRANCE 24, she shares stories of those she met during her assignments in Beirut, including a Palestinian man who moved from Gaza to the city a decade ago, only to find himself caught in the current bombardment.
