On August 5th, 2020, less than 24 hours after the Beirut blast. I was walking through the remnants of Mar Mkhael. I touched this banister and was overwhelmed with the image of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the remains of their homes, bloody, in tears. This is but one staircase that had smears of blood from what I hope was a survivor. Heart-wrenching. #HarperCollins
