Beirut: The New Jenin
Vital Perspective has an important and surprisingly honest report from Anderson Cooper, along with a map showing the Vast Areas of Beirut That Have Been Turned to Rubble.
(Hint: The damaged areas are in gray. Look in the lower left-hand corner of the map. You may need to squint.)
