On August 4th, 2020, the city of Beirut was struck with disaster. Lebanon's capital was left in ruins after a large explosion in the city's port area. Reports suggest around 180 people died in the explosion, with 6000 people left injured.

The people of the city, now in disarray, took to the streets to display their anger at a government, who they feel are largely to blame for what happened.

We spoke to Abunnasr to learn more about the mood on the ground in a city, handling yet another crisis. . thephoblographer.com
