Thomas Abgrall is a French journalist specialising in Lebanon and Syria. He lived in Beirut for ten years, where he worked as a correspondent for the French daily Libération and contributed to various French-language publications in Canada, Switzerland and Belgium. He covers the endless search for relatives who have gone missing in the civil war and issues such as the infernal day-to-day existence of domestic workers. He has written numerous reports on the plight of refugees in Lebanon. In 2016, he conducted an in-depth investigation into a little-known Syrian ethnic minority, the Dom community, settling in France. He is now based in Oxford, from where he continues to follow events in the Middle East.
