Eight ancient vessels, once shattered by the Beirut port blast of 2020, are now whole again. But how were these treasured artefacts restored?
The UN human rights chief Volker Türk decries the lack of accountability for the 2020 Beirut port blast, urging an international probe into the massive explosion that destroyed swathes of the city, in a speech to the United Nations Human Rights Council. "It may therefore be time to consider an international fact-finding mission to look into human rights violations related to this tragedy," says Volker Türk. SOUNDBITE
Disabled survivors of the devastating blast at Beirut's port in 2020 -- one of history's biggest non-nuclear explosions -- say that cash-strapped Lebanon has failed to deliver adequate medical care, financial support or justice.
Three years after Beirut’s massive port blast, attempts to prosecute those responsible are mired in political intrigue and many Lebanese have less faith than ever in their disintegrating state institutions.
