This aerial view shows demonstrators marching outside the port of Beirut on August 4, 2023, to mark the third anniversary of the deadly harbour explosion which devastated large swathes of the Lebanese capital in 2020. One of history's biggest non-nuclear explosions rocked Lebanon's capital on August 4, 2020, destroying swathes of the city, killing more than 220 people and injuring at least 6,500. Three years on, the probe into the traumatic disaster remains bogged down in legal and political wrangling, to the dismay of victims' families. (Photo by Kameel RAYES / AFP)
