A digital archive project is helping Sydney's southern Lebanese community preserve memories of villages in Lebanon that have been damaged or destroyed.
At a recent event in Parramatta, people with southern Lebanese heritage gathered to share photographs and videos of their ancestral villages, many of which have been levelled by the Israeli military over the past six months.
Saber Serhan brought photographs taken on a trip to his ancestral village of Kfar Kila in southern Lebanon in 2000.
