LEBANON. Beirut. February 2025. Ahmet* and Nasima* at their house in Mar Elias, Beirut. They both migrated from Bangladesh to Lebanon to earn a living.

Ahmet* travelled to Lebanon eight years ago. She’s rented a room in the same house ever since. During the recent Israeli war in Lebanon, Nasima* moved into the same house. There’s a lot of solidarity in migrant communities in the country; they help each other whenever they have the means, just like Ahmet* and Nasima* became a support system for each other.
