At least 11 killed and 63 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Basta Neighbourhood in Beirut overnight.

This is a very central location, about 2 km from where I used to live.

Geolocation experts have identified the targeted building on maps. See 👇

Lebanese civil society not only provides emergency relief for hundreds of thousands of IDPs right now.

New publication!
