Hundreds\nwere killed, thousands were injured, some of whom have been maimed for life,\nand the destruction was massive in the capital. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>That is to add to what resulted of severe mental illness, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder many are currently suffering from in Lebanon. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, to conclude this post, Bambi will say the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1) She would like to refer you to an older post honouring Elias (shown further below). May justice be finally served for him and for his bereaved family and friends. Bambi sends them her heart and continuous solidarity; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(2) As far as Mr. Macron is concerned, Bambi has an old post about his humanity (shown below). She remains grateful to him personally and to France, like Beirutis and the Lebanese people. As a reminder, he travelled to Beirut and hugged Tamara (who lost her mom) and many traumatized people on the streets (not a single Lebanese politician talked to them!).
