A 24-year-old Irish woman trapped in Lebanon with her family has spoken of the horror of being caught up in the Israeli bombardment of the country.

Gadir Zabad, from Kilkenny, had gone there two weeks ago to attend a funeral with parents Munir, 53, and Ghada, 47, and her 12-year-old brother Hassan, but got caught in the bombardment on her way out of the country.
