Lebanon is crying for help.
It’s been a year of struggle for all citizens of the earth. Tackling a pandemic has not been easy on many levels especially with the challenges of lock-downs and restrictions. While we feel those effects in the comfort of our homes with easy access to the necessities of basic living, there are many people in many different places of the world who can not.
Please let me share with you what most people living in Lebanon have been going through. The country has been struck by political instability and a complete economic collapse, which was compounded by a devastating deadly explosion and rampant COVID transmission and death rates. The Lebanese currency has depreciated by around 700% over a short period, and unemployment and poverty have consequently reached record levels. Shortages of essential medications, fuel, and basic essential commodities such as wheat and milk, are pushing more than half the population into sickness and hunger, and many are facing the threat of famine.
What you see in the video is not uncommon anymore! Videos are circulating in the media of people fighting over bread and milk, and the scene of people looking in the garbage has become the norm. The elderly, children, and vulnerable have no one to support them in a place where the governing bodies are responsible for its devastation. Those people are Lebanese natives, Palastenian refugees and Syrian refugees alike.
We have personally started this go fund me donation campaign and will be personally responsible to ensure the funds reach honest hands. The funds will be used to put together basic food boxes and distribute them among the most needy in the city of Saida and Beirut, Lebanon. Every dollar does make a difference. Friends and colleagues please help me reach my goal.
Love and peace,
Dr. Hazar Kobayaa & Dr. Lara El-Zahabi
