Workers construct a 25-metre-tall steel sculpture dubbed "The Gesture" by Lebanese artist Nadim Karam made from debris from the August 4 blast at Beirut's port. The explosion that thundered through the city levelled entire neighbourhoods, killed more than 200 people, wounded 6,500 others and pummelled the lives of survivors.
