An Irish woman who is trapped in Lebanon with her family has said it feels like the warzone is "following" them around.
Ghadir Zabad - along with her father Munir, mother Ghada and brother Hassan - went over to Lebanon from Kilkenny for a family funeral.
Their flight home was cancelled on Monday.
Israeli airstrikes since early on Monday have killed 564 people, including 50 children and 94 women, and left another 1,835 people wounded in Lebanon, its health ministry has said.
Israel has claimed it is targeting the positions of the militant group Hezbollah.
Ms Zabad told The Hard Shoulder from Beirut they have moved a number of times.
"The situation in Beirut is not as bad as the other places that we evacuated from," she said.
"We came to Beirut yesterday; it's supposed to be the safe place where everyone went to.
"Before Beirut we were in Nabatieh [which is] in between Beirut and Mansouri - so it's in the middle of the warzone."
'Bombs started dropping'
Ms Zabad said bombs were falling around them.
"There were just bombs being dropped on either side of us," she said.
"We were trying to get out of Nabatieh when the bombs started dropping.
"There was bombs very close to our house and people were driving crazily.
"So on the way to Beirut we had bombs being dropped onto cars, mainly ambulances, that were coming and going taking casualties."
'Something out of a movie'
Ms Zabad said the journey from Nabatieh to Lebanon's capital should take an hour but it took them "over five hours".
"Our situation wasn't as bad as others - other it took them all day to get here - [with] no food, no water, kids in the car, extreme heat," she said.
"The situation with the bombs coming and going... it's [like] something out of a movie, you would not think that it is real life".
Ms Zabad said they are currently staying at her fiancé's friend's house after moving from a school.
"We came out of the school because they recently just bombed near where we were staying," she said.
"So right now we're staying at my fiancé's friends house just for the next two nights. There's another four families in this small apartment".
'Hopefully we get lucky'
Ms Zabad said they are still searching for flights home from Lebanon.
"We are looking for flights and since our flight got cancelled we've been searching for flights," he said.
"We haven't found any flights that are going out of the country at the moment.
"We're going to keep looking and hopefully we get lucky and can find one that will take us back"
She said the situation in Beirut is "turning into what we left behind".
"The warzone that we came out of is literally following us into Beirut".
She added that she spoke to the Irish Embassy in Cairo - which is accredited to Lebanon - this morning.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is advising Irish citizens against all travel to Lebanon.
