One month on from the devastating blast in Beirut, many across the Lebanese capital are still recovering from the tragic event.

Thousands were injured, nearly 200 people died and many were left without homes due to the explosion.

One of them was Lebanese model Nour Arida who recently revealed she made the decision to leave Beirut with her daughter.

The mother-of-one shared a short video with her 7.2 million followers where she appeared to be in an airport, announcing she was moving to Paris.

Prior to posting the honest video to her followers, Arida shared a photo with her daughter, Ayla, looking out on to a plane – a symbol of her farewell to Beirut.
