Published data indicates that around 50 of these homes were partially or completely damaged.

The losses extend to libraries, manuscripts, documents and spaces that held the region’s political, cultural and social history, prompting researchers and cultural figures to warn of the gradual erasure of the place’s memory beneath the rubble.

From #Khiam to Nabatieh, stone can be rebuilt, but more than a century of history held within it cannot be recreated.
