    I covered assasinations since 2004, July 2006 war, explosions, 2 weeks in Mosul, and mini-political wars but I never expected that I will live this experience today. Too much pain and tears my beautiful #Beirut

    قصة قصيرة عن بداية الأسبوع: - سيارتي بلا بنزين - كل محطات الوقود القريبة مغلقة - ليس لدى التاكسيات القريبة بنزين لإيصالي إلى المكتب - بقيت في البيت للعمل عن بعد، دوامي كان يفترض ان يبدأ ١٢ ظهرا، لكنه موعد قطع المولد للتغذية..! نشاط وحيوية بابهى حللهما #لبنان

    This afternoon, I am heading back to devastated #Beirut, after spending one month working at @AFP Mena office in #Nicosia. Souvenirs & gifts are replaced by dozens of #medicines for family & friends + donated clothes for #babies. Coming back this time with anger & desperation
