It was my pleasure to work with @GettyImages on a news assignment that showcased the amazing work @WFP was doing on the ground post-Beirut Port blast.

Congratulations WFP on wining the Nobel Peace Prize!

"The generosity that flowed into Halifax [in 1917] showed human kindness could not be erased even by the greatest man-made explosion the world had ever seen. Of the many lessons Canada’s disaster holds for Beirut, that might prove to be the most lasting."

Sursock palace was built in 1860 by Moussa Sursock & recognized at the time as one of Beirut's grandest town house. After the Lebanese Civil War, it took 20 years of careful restoration to restore it before it reopened in 2010. Today, it has been severely damaged. #BeirutBlast 🇱🇧
