DW News: “The loaf of the poor: how the war in Ukraine is sparking food price fears in Lebanon”

There are no words to describe Bambi’s sadness to see Lebanon struggling as it is with one crisis after the other.

Another crisis co-occurring with the Ukraine-related wheat saga is about fuel. The latter seems to be directly related to Lebanon’s financial crisis. Today, short-term history seems to be repeating itself in this tiny country where gas stations are now closed, until further notice as per the French article of l’Orient Le Jour (https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/1294587/au-liban-les-stations-service-ferment-leurs-portes-jusqua-nouvel-ordre.html).

To conclude this brief post, following the DW News brief documentary, Bambi will dedicate Fairuz’ song “I love you Lebanon” to the Lebanese people. May God help them keep their sanity while coping with all the adversity and uncertainty they have been facing since October 17, 2019. Eventually (soon?!), this tiny country will hit the rock bottom of its misery, finally begin its recovery journey, and rise again!
