#Lebanon
URGENT call : @MawlawiBassam
1• A circular to all Lebanese governorates should be issued to conduct a survey on exact number of displaced Syrians & announce it officially.
2• Ask @UN to locate a safe area in the 185,180 km² area of #Syria to return the displaced
/1
to their country,
3• The safe area can be under the @UN supervision. They can take care of the displaced social, medical and education needs and keep their communities safe from violence and harm,
4• @UNHCRLebanon@Refugees must listen to the country hosting the displaced
/2
and be guided by their choices.
All stakeholders must work to collectively address the difficulties and problems of hosting the displaced and its affect on #Lebanon
This should be based on cooperation between host countries, the Government of Syria @Refugees and the @UN

A unique story of love and devotion from the United Kingdom!
Dr Margaret McCollum, a general practitioner, has been visiting the Embankment station each day since her husband’s death in 2007.
Margaret was married to Oswald Laurence, who had recorded the ‘Mind the Gap’
/1
announcement for the northern line in the 1950s.
Margaret visits the Embankment tube station every day, just to hear her late husband’s voice.
The chime of ‘Mind the gap’ is quite well-known in the UK,
/2
however, nobody fathomed that the depth of the voice meant a lifetime for Margaret. ‘Since he died I would sit and wait for the next train until I heard his voice,’ and explained how the recording helped keep his memory alive,”

A Special Salute to #SaharFares on International Women's Day!
Aug4, 2020 at 17:55 @beirutfirebriga received a call alerting them of a fire at port of Beirut.
A team of 9 firefighters & 1 paramedic got into a firetruck and raced to the site, unknowingly heading to their death.
/1
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.
/2
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. #SaharFares beacon of light is so bright that the world will continue to see it shine long after that devastating day #AlwaysInOurHearts

#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
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 🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️
