The whole world was aghast as they watched, in horror, the Beirut Explosion send shockwaves that will reverberate in our minds and hearts forever.

​

4th August, 2020 will be remembered as the day that brought a nation to it’s knees. A country, already on the brink of economic and humanitarian catastrophe, is left, once again, to pick up the pieces of a man-made disaster, at the expense of the Lebanese people.

​

150+ innocent lives lost.

4,000+ injured, most unable to obtain hospitalisation.

300,000 left homeless.

 

The Plight of the Lebanese people

​

This atrocity comes on the back of a nationwide protest against a corrupt and grossly incompetent government lacking any accountability, vision or justice. A government that has, over the past 12 months, ignorantly presided over the following circumstances:

​

• Food prices have tripled;

• The Lebanese Lira has devalued by 80%;

• Unemployment is over 40%;

• Over 45% of the population is living under the Poverty Line;

• Murder and Suicide rates have doubled;

• Lebanon is the 3rd most Indebted country in the world;

• Basic services like Electricity and Waste disposal are scarce;

• The COVID-19 pandemic is almost out of control;

• The Hospital system is bursting at the seams and can no longer cope with demand.

 

IF THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT WON’T HELP THEM, THEN WE WILL.
