Reem,

I don't know how to explain that I cannot even describe it.
we drove up to Baabda to look over the city of Beirut, you can see the whole city as if nothing have changed, but that was only in the picture. The noise was different, usually on that hill you can hear thousands and thousands of cars riding the streets of the city but yesterday it was so quit, you can even hear an ant footsteps, so sad.

we went down next to the southern suburb of Beirut to find an unfinished bridge that is destroyed, flattened to the ground.

we drove to the south of Beirut where the beach is (ramleh el bayda), about 1 km of white sands beach, but unfortunately the sand is no longer white it is all covered with dark thick oil coming from a power plant in the south of Lebanon Israeli aircraft have targeted days ago, then we end up taking a walk in down town, the busiest part of Beirut but there were just us, streets were empty thousands of chairs that are usually full of people eating, drinking, smoking water pipes, kids playing around, deserted.

we couldn't go inside the Dahieh, but if you drive on the main streets you see the damages. you see a lot of building hitting the ground, horrifying.

we drove around the city, on a normal day that drive will takes about 2 hours to finish because of the traffic, we finished it in 20 min.
