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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"&quot;The loaf of the poor&quot;: how the war in Ukraine is sparking food price fears in Lebanon | DW News\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eDY6aEGEpV4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Fairuz - I love you Lebanon English subtitle \u0628\u062d\u0628\u0643 \u064a\u0627 \u0644\u0628\u0646\u0627\u0646 - \u0641\u064a\u0631\u0648\u0632\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ksO60-FYkHw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/heart-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18135\" width=\"149\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/heart-9.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/heart-9-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 85vw, 149px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are no words to describe Bambi&#8217;s sadness to see Lebanon struggling as it is with one crisis after the other.
