UNESCO,
09 February 2021, International

A shot in the arm for Beirut artists and the cultural life that they create. The Government of Iceland has signed an agreement with UNESCO today pledging 15 million ISK (approximately  116,000 USD) to support culture and the creative economy in Beirut, following the devastating explosion that killed hundreds, injured thousands, and nearly ripped the heart and soul  from the cultural life of the city six months ago.
