This August 4th, wherever we are in the world, we stand together in solidarity with Beirut.
A year has passed since the blast, which claimed 218 innocent lives, injured 7,000 and left many homeless.
‼️ A year after the #BeirutBlast, @hrw’s report examines 100s of pages of official documents to show which #Lebanon officials were responsible for one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in the world, that killed 218 people

Findings in the thread below:
Tomorrow marks 1yr since we lost Isaac in the #Beirutblast. There is so much grief &trauma associated with that day, the only way I can get through is by putting my feelings aside &focusing on what Isaac needs. He needs us, all of us, to fight for justice

This is the complete video of the explosion of one year ago. First time I see it. Not sure why I want to watch.. Survivor guilt? Because I wasn’t home to go through the trauma with the rest of my country? Because life here is easier?

There will be huge anger today, rightly, at those responsible for the port disaster who are evading justice.
I’m thinking, too, about the heroism in those dark hours.
Starting with nurse Pamela Zeinoun, who rescued 3 tiny babies from ruined hospital…

A year has passed in which Lebanon is quickly spiralling into becoming a failed state. Next week I restart the fundraising campaign. Because this misery never seems to end.
Our fundraising campaign to support the victims of the Beirut blast will start again next week to mark the one year anniversary of the tragedy. Stay tuned!
