Souk-al Khamis in Nabatieh was a thriving hub for vendors from across southern Lebanon. It was one of Lebanon’s oldest souks with architecture said to date back to the Ottomans and Mamlouks. The souk has been completely destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. This is all that remains.

These kinds of stories often don't get commissioned because they're considered too "niche" or "too diverse" by editors. Over a million views says otherwise. Kudos to @sabahchoudhry for her brilliant and timely work.
Pleased to see my report on Aafia Siddiqui’s case has reached over 1.1m views on TikTok. Diverse storytelling matters. Representation in newsrooms matters.
