Safaa went to Lebanon looking to meet with a specialist for her Crohn's disease.

Now, she and her four children are caught in the conflict between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah.

"It's pretty scary, to be honest," Safaa said.

"Mostly, it is happening at night, where you're about to fall asleep and then (a) big boom happens.

"We've had one close to us, where the house completely shook."

Safaa doesn't want her last name used for fear of being targeted.

More than 700 people have been killed in Lebanon this week, according to its health ministry.
