As Lebanon reels from the aftermath of the devastating explosion the rocked the capital earlier this week, funerals are being held for the dead.
In the southern village of Qlayaa, a funeral was held Thursday for Internal Security Officer Gerges Foj, killed in the blast.
In a procession around the village, his sister Najwa Foj yelled in mourning, showing gratitude for fellow villagers, but also cursing Lebanese officials.
For many Lebanese, Tuesday’s blast was the last straw after years of corruption and mismanagement by a political elite that has ruled for decades.
