On 13 November 2015, the world around us changed once again. A series of blasts left the city of Paris in shambles with more than 120 people dead and hundreds of others severely injured. With the city reeling from the attack, people took to social media to show their support and solidarity with the people of France. Despite the fear, loss and hurt, people have responded with courage, love and bravery.  From mourning the loss of those who lost their lives in the attack to coming forward with open arms and open doors, people all over the world have shown that they stand one against terrorism.

A makeshift memorial where people poured in their support.

Even in chaos, there was hope.

• Parisians opened their doors to people looking for a safe place to stay. Taking to twitter with the hashtag #PorteOuverte which means ‘open door’, the people of Paris offered refuge to those left behind in the pandemonium.

My Friends are safe, in a random woman's home. She's making them dinner, & preparing beds. Blessed. #PorteOuverte
