During the July-Aug 06 34-day war between Israel and Hizballah militants, thousands of Americans evacuated the country of Lebanon. The U.S. Marines and the State Department evacuated us back to the U.S. via Cyprus.

This video documents my exhausting evacuation experience.

  • we were on the same boat! my mom also recorded the crowd dancing...did you see the fight that broke out? my mom got it on tape :P

  • yea I remember the fight I wish I got it on tape, there was so much more to include...if u can upload it please do!

  • Why did you have to go to Cyprus for ? What happened ?

  • Lebanon was under attack from the Israeli Army and so foreign nationals in the country were evacuated by sea to the nearest countries, Cyprus and Turkey, where we were then able to fly back to our home countries.

  • @anice1834lyf then you should have stayed.

  • At least you got out safely.You could relax on a Cypriot Beach, Beirut is still a fascinating city even with all the derelict buildings.The port of Byblos is a must see & Tramway in Jbeil you have quite a view of the area from the top.

  • i believe if it wasn't for hizbolla militants, israel and lebanon have a potentian to become very close allies. but who am i? i'm just a dreamer.

  • im in canada right now studyin and have one thing on my mind and that one thing is going back to lebanon
