In other words, for the last week or two, inside our house we felt all those bombs that have been dropped continuously. No sleep or anything. We just sit until the morning. You can only sleep when the drones go away. It is impossible to sleep with that drone sound anyway."

9. SOUNDBITE (Turkish) Eyup Sabri Kirgiz, evacuee:

“We were in Northern Lebanon so there was no problem in our area. There was no bombing or anything. But of course, you’re anxious every day. When you are under stress, you worry whether something will happen, whether they will block the road or bomb something. That’s why he wanted to leave Lebanon as soon as possible."

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Ahmad Taleb, evacuee:
"My parents, they are the only Lebanese (nationals). They’re not Turkish citizens or Australian citizens like us. So they have to stay here, and they can’t leave the country as well. They have to work, they have to afford the expenses of living here. But I hope in the future I can take them with us, maybe to Turkey or to Australia because we can’t stay living with this stress, especially because we can’t trust the Israeli army. They’re attacking everywhere, as we see in Gaza, in Palestine."

18. SOUNDBITE (Turkish) Goncagul Udigwe, evacuee:
"Right now I am extremely happy that we are reunited (with Turkey) safe and sound. I am in my own land, I feel safe, I feel at peace. But of course, I feel very sorry for those who have to stay there (in Lebanon) because they are not in a good situation at all. They sleep on the sidewalks, in cars. So it’s very difficult. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my own country."

STORYLINE:
Eyup Sabri Kirgiz was among the hundreds of people to be evacuated from Lebanon aboard two Turkish navy ships on Thursday as Israel’s invasion of the country and war with Hezbollah continues to escalate.
In addition to his wife and two children, Kirgiz made sure to insist on taking his two dogs and the family’s pet turtle, Coco.
The Associated Press was the only non-government media that was invited aboard the vessels to cover the evacuation operation.
