As a lebanese person I will advise best to donate things they require like canned food, clothing etc... With the money you cant trust if the government is taking it!! Red cross would be the only safe suggestion :)

Should have listened to his wife.

[@MegaNigerianPrince]

She was talking to her son Edit: Its actuality the maid www.tiktok.com/@ali_moubarak/video/6809503219597823238 The way she was talking to imad and the maid at the same time. it makes it really easy to mistake her talking to a son. She also uses alot of the tone and words you would say to a child. Its depressing to see the maid get no spotlight even tho she was injured just as badly. Maids in lebanon and the middle east are not treated well at all and are seen as less than most of the time. of course there are people in lebanon who treat maids right, but there are no laws or protections for these workers. So there is a history of abuse towards them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPCoXWejM5kj68 This documentary goes into detail about the topic. It can be biased at some points but it is also brutality honest. alot of the people injured in this blast were the maids and it is sad to see them pushed to the side in the media right now.
