Yesterday evening, while chatting together upon Bambi&#8217;s arrival to the Lebanese capital, Rania showed her sister a <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">BEAUTIFUL<\/span><\/strong> picture of Beirut. She took it from the skies during a recent business trip to the United Arab Emirates. With much gratitude for her consent, Bambi is now sharing it with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, for family reasons, Bambi visited the Saint George University Hospital. Upon entering this institution, she was deeply touched when she saw a memorial wall. The latter is a heartfelt tribute for all those who lost their lives in this destroyed, and now thankfully fully re-built, hospital. Of course, Bambi took the time to pause, reading each of the 18 names one after the other. Four of them were nurses in addition to other staff members, patients, and family members or friends. May everyone&#8217;s memory be eternal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder, the surreal tragedy of the doomed Beirut port explosion took place on the 4th of August, 2020. Almost five years later, families of the victims are still waiting for justice. Of note, a small number of the thousands of those who were injured remain hospitalized. Some of them are even in the coma. Don&#8217;t they all deserve truth and justice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/667406c2-e6c5-437a-a1e6-612ef6b78fcf-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/667406c2-e6c5-437a-a1e6-612ef6b78fcf-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/667406c2-e6c5-437a-a1e6-612ef6b78fcf-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/667406c2-e6c5-437a-a1e6-612ef6b78fcf-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/667406c2-e6c5-437a-a1e6-612ef6b78fcf.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A stunning picture of Beirut taken by Ms. Rania Azar-Berbery on May 21, 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5371-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5371-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5371-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5371-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5371-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5371.jpg 1211w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A picture taken by Bambi at the Saint George University Hospital on May 22, 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5372.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5372.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_5372-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A picture taken by Bambi at the Saint George University Hospital on May 22, 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"\u0628\u064a\u0631\u0648\u062a \u2665\ufe0f\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jPFCe0_IB34?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
