在以色列入侵南黎巴嫩的背景下,数以千计的人面临着紧迫的抉择:我该如何打包离家?哪些东西需要留下?又该前往哪里找寻安全之地?

来自加沙地带的烹饪高手及社交媒体达人Hala Bassam Al-Akhsam(人们更熟知她为Chef Hala),拥有20,000位TikTok粉丝,她亲历了三次从加沙城撤退的经历,因此深谙此道。在一次分享中,她建议黎巴嫩的撤离者首先要准备一个轻便袋子装好贵重物品和重要文件,如黄金、现金、学历证明及出生证明。应让家庭成员之一负责常时间保管这些物件。每个人都需要准备一个小包,里面装有衣物、书籍、个人清洁用品和可重复使用的水瓶。此外,她提醒每个人都要带上一件外套,因为“冬天即将来临”。

从以往专注于烹饪技巧与食谱上传的Chef Hala,如今转向分享战争带来的破坏及在混乱中保持安全和理智的实用指南。“请事先想好一个确定的安全地点。”她说道,“是某个可以搬迁到的地方,避免花费时间决定。”

由于以色列的空袭、突袭以及撤离预警迫使数以十万计的黎巴嫩人逃离家园,未来何时能够回返或者归家时会如何已不得而知。对于流离失所者及不久可能加入其列的人们而言,Chef Hala关于流离的教程已成为一种慰藉与团结。

来自社交媒体的黎巴嫩观众在公开论坛上向她表达感谢,并私下寻求更多具体建议。近期的一段视频中,她应请求提供了基本药物清单。“我曾经经历了饥饿、荒废以及极度污染。”Al-Akhsam解释说,“战争中的斗争激发了我与加沙人民分享如何准备给黎巴嫩人。”

对于那些利用社交媒体向黎巴嫩民众发出信息的人来说,有人侧重于团结,也有人表达哀伤。一些人在惋惜之言中提出疑惑:为何那些在支持哈马斯和真主党的黎巴嫩似乎成了代价?

来自加沙的35岁摄影师Mahmoud Abusalama,在他的镜头下转变成了一名战争报道员,并在Instagram上向黎巴嫩观众呼吁记录他们的经历。“记述真相至关重要,”他最近的一条帖子中写道,“尤其是在持续战乱之际。”在过去,他的作品曾聚焦“加沙的美丽”,而现在,则满载着血迹与毁灭。

Abusalama经历过两次撤离,他对仍滞留在那里的朋友有一句劝告:不要待在那里。“流离失所是一件耻辱的事。”他说。随着以色列的入侵持续进行,黎巴嫩许多人可能在面临无选择的情况下忽视了这些建议。

原文地址:On Social Media, Gazans Share Advice for Those Under Fire in Lebanon

原文摘要:

Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon has forced thousands of people there to grapple with some urgent questions: What should I pack before I evacuate? What should stay behind? And where can I go that might be safe?
Gazans have some hard-won answers, and some are sharing them on social media.
One of them is Hala Bassam Al-Akhsam, better known as Chef Hala, a Gazan TV and social media personality with 20,000 followers on TikTok. Ms. Al-Akhsam has evacuated from her home in Gaza City three times since Israel invaded Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack last Oct. 7, so she has plenty of experience.
In a recent post, she advised Lebanese evacuees to start with a lightweight pouch for valuables and important documents — gold, cash, diplomas and birth certificates. Make one member of the family responsible for holding onto it at all times. Everyone should have their own small bag of clothes, books, hygiene products and a reusable water bottle. And make sure everyone has a coat, she says, because “winter is coming.”
Once a prolific poster of cooking hacks and recipes, Ms. Al-Akhsam now uploads scenes of the war’s devastation alongside practical advice for staying safe and sane amid chaos. “Have a predetermined safe location in mind,” she said. “A house or an area to move to, without losing time deciding.”
Israeli airstrikes, raids and evacuation warnings have sent hundreds of thousands of Lebanese fleeing their homes, with no certainty of when they would be able to return or what might remain when they do. For the uprooted and those who soon might be, Ms. Al-Akhsam’s displacement tutorials have become a source of solace and solidarity.
Lebanese viewers have reached out with thanks on public forums, and private requests for more specific advice. In one recent video, she obliged with a packing list of essential medicines. “I have faced starvation, famine, and extreme pollution,” Ms. Al-Akhsam explained in an interview. “My struggle throughout this war has inspired me to share with the people of Lebanon what to expect.”
Ms. Al-Akhsam, 36, said she started the tutorials when she first heard that Lebanese, too, were being displaced by Israeli airstrikes. “I really wish someone had explained to me what to do when I first evacuated,” she said. “I didn’t realize what I would need. Once you leave your house, you never know how long you’ll be away. A day? Two days? A month?”
Some Gazans who have used social media to speak to the people of Lebanon focus on solidarity, others on grief. A few have expressed regret that those in Lebanon seem to be paying the price for the support of Hamas by Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based militant group.
Mahmoud Abusalama, a 35-year-old landscape photographer turned war reporter from Jabaliya in Gaza, urged his Lebanese viewers on Instagram to record their experiences. “Documentation is crucial for preserving truth,” he said in a recent post, “especially amid the ongoing war.” Before the war, he sought to capture what he described as “the beauty of Gaza.” Now, his posts are full of bloodshed and destruction.
Mr. Abusalama has been evacuated twice, and he has just one thing to say to those who haven’t fled yet: Don’t. “Displacement is humiliating,” he said. As Israel’s invasion pushes on, many in Lebanon may feel they have no choice but to ignore that advice.
