Friends surprised a Lebanese woman with a small birthday cake on August 5 as they were helping her assess the damage done to her apartment by the August 4 Beirut explosion.

Dina Rahme was planning to celebrate her 27th birthday in her apartment in the Mar Mikhael neighborhood near the port of Beirut on the night of August 4, but the mass explosion changed her plans.

“We were all supposed to meet at my home to celebrate. My home has always been a safe space for us all. It wasn’t anymore. We were trying to pick up the pieces of what’s left of my life from the rubble,” Rahme told Storyful. Credit: @Hebadaye via Storyful
