Hundreds gathered in Beirut this Saturday for the funeral of our colleagues Fatima Ftoun; her brother and cameraman Mohammed Ftouni; and Ali Shoeib. The three were killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike on March 28 while traveling in a clearly marked press vehicle in Nabatieh.

Up to 300,000 Syrians remain missing a year after Assad’s fall. The White Helmets and a new national commission are exhuming bodies, mapping grave sites and building records in a search that will take years, reports @amelied.bsky.social . shorturl.at/PJwLy

Hussein, 10 ans, jouait avec sa soeur quand un missile a frappé leur domicile. Sa soeur a été tuée. Lui, gravement brûlé. Pour @pivot.quebec, avec mon collègue @sandrobasili.bsky.social, nous sommes allés à la rencontre des enfants du service des grands brûlés de l'hôpital Geitaoui à #Beyrouth.

A few hours after the ceasefire, I returned to a guesthouse in the Karantina that I had visited three weeks earlier. I recognized some familiar faces, but most had left. Some returned to their homes or what is left of it. Others stayed. The war had taken their homes, their sense of security.
