Unrest in Lebanon: Day 3 in the afternoon

This afternoon continued unrest in the city, fighting around the UN building near the Prime Minister's office.

A colleague had to go urgently back to the office to try and restore some electricity lines and the network server so that people could have access to their work emails from home. He took these photos on his way.
