It injured 6000+ people (some kids lost an eye). It left from 300,000 to 700,000 homeless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a video by <em>Euronews<\/em> showing artists honouring the victims by painting their faces on the city&#8217;s walls. May they all rest in peace. Will their loved ones find the truth? Will justice be finally served? It has been 9 months already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Beirut blast victims with 204 portraits\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XN416Q-k9_I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this post,  Bambi&#8217;s heart goes to the families of the victims. If she may, she would like to offer them Ms. Ginette Reno&#8217;s beautiful song about &#8220;<em>those who leave us<\/em>&#8220;. Deep inside of herself, perhaps today more than ever (in those absurd times), she remains grateful because her parents&#8217; faces are not among the paintings, despite their destroyed apartment. Same for her brother-in-law, niece, and childhood friend. The latter is her hero as she is currently recovering from a surgery related to the explosion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/heart-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10664\" width=\"129\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/heart-2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/heart-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 129px) 85vw, 129px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ceux qui s&#039;en vont - Ginette Reno.wmv\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-YGX0tBygA0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 4, 2020, a surrealistic Beirut port explosion destroyed half of the city, killing 204 innocent people, including two young children.
