In the middle of the destroyed Beirut neighbourhood of Gemmayzeh, a small team in masks and gloves were sanitising and packing oxygen machines to be sent to those in need.

It’s the latest venture of a Lebanese civil group that arose with the coronavirus pandemic and has been finding new avenues to help as the country’s crises expand.
