The Outpost – The Body Issue

I contributed two pieces to The Outpost’s most recent body-themed issue.

The first – a profile – focused on Hussein Ghandour, a prosthetics technician who lost an arm and a leg to an Israeli cluster bomb when he was a child and has dedicated his life to helping people with similar injuries in Lebanon “find their way back to ordinary.”

The second – a feature that combined personal reflections and reporting – looked at the stigma around mental health in Lebanon and the country’s alleged, paradoxical over-dependence on psychotropic drugs.
