As war rages in Lebanon, Kenyan migrant workers have found themselves between a rock and a hard place even as the Kenya government begins the process to evacuate them.

Those working in Southern Lebanon, the epicentre of the Israel-Hezbollah war, The Standard managed to speak to said they have been rendered homeless.
Earlier a distraught woman working as a domestic worker in Beirut went on TikTok narrating how she woke up only to find that her employer family had escaped and left her alone in the house.
