Today’s post will be brief.
No need for many words… Just one moving picture taken from l‘Orient Le Jour.
Bambi will conclude with Fairuz’ famous song for Beirut, subtitled in English. Li Beirut is also offered to the families of the victims of the Beirut port blast of August 4, 2020.
Finally, since we are in the spirit of Easter, may Beirut “rise” from its darkness. May Lebanon finally start its LONG road of recovery… and collective healing.
Beirut, April 15, 2022: Families of some of the very first victims of the surrealistic Beirut port explosion, the heroic firefighters who were sent to their death. As a reminder, no one ever warned them about the hundreds of tonnes of ammonium nitrate that exploded on April 4, 2020, destroying half of the Lebanese capital, killing over 200 people (including kids), and
injuring over 6000-7000+ residents.
