Hundreds of Africans employed as domestic workers are fearing what could happen if war breaks out in Lebanon.
Israel and Lebanon-based group Hezbollah have traded near-daily fire of shells across the border since the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel.
There are concerns that the rest of Lebanon could get caught up as the conflict transforms into a wider regional struggle.

Oh Lord here our prayers rescue our African children who went just but nothing to earn a leaving
Why are Kenyans in Lebanon
Hi it is Zihadi cannel of Iran what exactly u want to set e narrative U Mouth Piece of Zihadi
Khazaria Ashkenazi European self styled fake jews without no genetic lineage to middle east have no value and respect for human life.
Taking away their passport. What are they doing there. Look from when this thing going on.
Depressing to say the least.You cannot afford to buy a return ticket home.Why go abroad to work in slave conditions where your safety and well being is under grave threat?
We are here no peace no rescue at all only God😢
Just remember that Lebanon allowed daily attacks on Israel for almost a year now.
My Nigerian people have started learning their lessons
i'm sick of the lebanese always brown nosing and further complicating things. muslim countries can't serve their own people let alone foreign nationals/asylum seekers lol
Africans in Lebanon. Fighting war. Your country should help. Will be lucky to get out alive. 😅.
Lebanese in Africa dont get treated this way
Well the iq of the trapped says it all. 😂😂😂
Don't worry The UK has a planes and boats on stand by
oh no, poor migrants got in trouble, I feel very worried for them, hope they all will go to Britain and Europe and get good financial aid
domestic worker = euphemism for slave. I've seen it. Arab tradition of African slaves carries on
I didn't know Africans go to Lebanon for work
israel is a rogue terrorist state who can act with impunity because zionist supremacists control the levers of world power
So 4 weeks ago, when every country on earth issued statements that their citizens should leave Beirut and Lebanon in general… what were these 'Africans' doing?
Apparently, they weren't paying any attention.
Now anyone who travels to another country knowing they'll only make the equivalent of $150/month USD and have their passports taken away when they arrive probably hasn't been paying attention to anything in their life; because that's just retarded level right there…
$150/mo pay + withholding passport + asking permission of employer to leave = slavery
No one want peace ..
Who sent you there?
Its Lebanon only even Israel also people are leaving from the country
I think Lebanon should focus on fixing its own economic problems instead of being a proxy for the Islamic Iranian regime which has brought nothing but pain and misery.
Theres a flight leaving Beruit at 2235 tomorrow, £189. Lands Nairobi. One stop over.
Want a window seat?
Palestinian political movement?? Why are you incompetent people cant say the word " TERRORISTS"?
About the Lebanese in the country why focus on the only the Africans
good luck(it accent as some movie)
islam = death, enslavement, misery
Lebanese slave labor
Africans can have more children, that generally solves all problems. 💀💀💀
My Ethiopian sisters may God be with you, our government doesn't care. 😢😢😢
They should go to Palestine and stand with them
who cares if you let fanatical religion run anything you dont deserve any help
(?!…)
I wonder, when our great leaders decide to go to war, the BBC will report on all the africans stuck in the uk?
Well well well, perhaps they shouldnt have gone there?
