BBC visits Doha market starting to fill up again two weeks into Iran war

At the beginning of the conflict between Israel and the US, and Iran on 28 February, Doha’s Souq Waqif market was almost empty, with those in the usually safe and stable capital shocked by the attacks in the region.

Qatar’s neighbouring countries have felt the impact of Tehran’s retaliatory strikes, with at least 18 people killed across the Gulf states so far.

Meanwhile, most of the strikes aimed at Qatar – some targeting US military bases – have been intercepted by air defences, with little damage done on the ground and no deaths reported in the country.

As the conflict in the Middle East enters its third week, Doha’s best-known market is starting to look busy again – and the BBC’s Barbara Plett Usher has visited to ask people there how they are feeling.
