"I have to go to my son’s house to take showers and to clean my clothes every day. Every time I leave my home, I leave it in fear that someone’s going to break in & take the little we have left away from us. We are desperate."
"In truth, I don’t have any more feelings. I’m spent. I love Beirut. But the situation here is disgusting. We’re done. We’ve lived in this appalling situation for long enough. We were born in it. We’re living in it. And now we will die in it."

O Allah, Remover of all harm, Reliever of all difficulties, You are the One in Whose hand is complete dominion; You are the One who shows mercy to Your servants, so show mercy to them, O Lord. Gaze upon the people of #Lebanon and upon their situation.
Show gentleness to them, gentleness from Your presence through which You protect them from all evil, sickness and tribulation. O Allah, heal the sick and wounded and give them a good, blessed and noble life.

I just spoke to the General who wrote the report about the presence of Ammonium Nitrate at the harbour (n.12) in Beirut and the conditions he found the AN. He told me he has submitted the report last year with a video and photos +
The report was forwarded to the Lebanese Army Intelligence branch, to the direction of the customs and to the President of the council of Ministers's office (Saad Hariri at the time because the report was sent last year).

The General of the National Sec told me that the AN was leaking and pilled in an unprofessional storage way. But the biggest surprise he gave me is the following:

In #Lebanon, two people committed suicide to highlight their hunger & the economic pitfall.
Another man stormed a pharmacy waving a gun for a box of diapers.
As of Sunday, #Lebanon is expected to descend into a nationwide blackout, as fuel shortages all but halt electricity.
.2/ With no electricity or extensive power cuts, fridges will cease to function & food will spoil.
With no power, internet will halt; fuel, pharmaceuticals, clean water & even the airport will all be impacted.
No power means no ACs or fans.
Private generators will not cope.
.3/ #Lebanon is not at the point of collapse, it has already disintegrated.
Many families are on the brink of starvation, the situation is beyond grim.
Help us secure relief to families in dire need.
