She video-called her fiancée from the ambulance, signaled to him she’d talk later. She left the truck to get a better view of the fire,. He saw her at a loss, looking from side-to-side, not knowing what to do. Their signal was lost, and that was the last time he saw her.

At 6:07 pm, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in the world took her life, along with her 9 colleagues and 223 innocent lives.

#علم_الفساد عند الطبقة الحاكمة في لبنان؛
1- لا تكن وحدك, فالفساد عمل جماعي يتطلب مشاركة الفاسدين وتوثيق الصلة بهم
2- ابحث عن الرجال الذي يقال عنهم إنهم فوق القانون واشتر شراكتهم بغالي الاثمان، فهؤلاء يعلمونك مهارات لايمتلكها غيرهم فيختصرون عليك الزمن في صعود سلم الفساد المفيد
/1
3- ترتكب خطأً جسيماً إذا كانت قطعتك من 'الكعكة' أكبر من قطعة من هو أعلى منك، فقسمة كعكة الفاسدين لا تكون بالتساوي.
4- كن كريماً واجعل شعارك "ربي ارزقني وارزق مني" ففتات الفساد الذي توزعه على الفاسدين الصغار سيشجعهم لاتباعك لاحقاً وطلب المزيد من الكاتو
/2
5- ان الفاسد المحترف لابد أن يكون قانونيًا.
المختلسون البدائيون يذهبون إلى السجن أما المحترفون فيصفق لهم الناس ويكرمون أمام عدسات المصورين.
6- لا بد من ان تتعلم كيف تخفي أدلة فسادك وتغرقها في أقرب مجرى للسيول, فإغراقها أسهل من دفنها.

Dear @AUBMC_Official
now that my hand healed smoothly, I want to thank Dr. George Abi Sa'ad (Head of Trauma surgery at #AUBMC)
I was bit by an aggressive dog days before New Year. my left hand had 9 holes, 3 of which were big and deep wounds.
/1 ImageImageImage
During my stay at ER, they cleaned the wounds, did some X-rays to assess and started with antibiotics, tetanus along with Pain killers.
The second day, Dr. George Abi Saad changed the wound dressings and asked to check the wounds every day as he was worried.
/2
The hero ended up changing the dressings of my hand more than 20 times!
The effort he did making sure none of the wounds gets infected was amazing.
I felt I wanted to share my gratitude to Dr. Abi Sa'ad 🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️

He appealed to Syrian citizens to free him

The child’s relatives appealed to the kidnappers to release him and their willingness to pay the ransom “whatever it is” despite the difficult financial situation of the child’s parents and the lack of ingenuity in raising the required amount.
