Summary
In one of Beirut's poorest neighborhoods, Karantina, near the port, people are still reeling from the explosion that flattened homes and killed many neighbors who felt like family. Many said the blast did more damage in a few seconds than 15 years of war. I still can't believe I'm looking at my mother's coffin," said Claudette's son, George Halabi, who flew in for her funeral. "Our life's savings are in this house," said Matar, 68, whose grandfather was born in Karantina.
