Please join the Middle East Institute and the American Task Force for Lebanon for a virtual talk featuring award-winning journalist Dalal Mawad discussing her recently released book All She Lost: The Explosion in Lebanon, the Collapse of a Nation and the Women who Survive (Bloomsbury Continuum, 2024). In it, Mawad explores the impact of the August 4 2020, Beirut explosion that killed hundreds of people with a focus on the women survivors.
Disabled survivors of the 2020 Beirut port blast are calling for support for their injuries and justice in the port blast case.

Three years ago today, the Lebanese capital Beirut was devastated by a massive explosion.
