Business owners in a Lebanese market devastated by Israeli air raids and ground invasion are facing the painful task of salvaging what they can from the wreckage. The historic market in the city of Nabatieh was obliterated during the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, leaving scenes of desolation and ruin. The World Bank estimates that the governorate of Nabatieh incurred $1.5 billion in economic losses during the war. Despite the overwhelming destruction, many business owners are determined to rebuild and restart their businesses, even on a smaller scale.
