Just terrible seeing all the vision & the locals begging for help with not one government official lending a hand.... those poor people have been thru enough ffs!!!4 Corners about the Beirut Blast tonight.
Some of the clips of cctv in homes and businesses so shocking.
I hope a lot of Australians who dont have ME background, or understanding, watch it mate to inform themselves of what these proud, desperately let down, good people are going through.Love my country, always have, always will, but I didn't watch that. No need to be reminded what happens when a hopeless government fails to look after its own people.
I watched it and found it hard to fathom ordinary people could be so unbreakable. I recommend everyone to watch it as it puts 2020 into perspective. At least it did for me.I hope a lot of Australians who dont have ME background, or understanding, watch it mate to inform themselves of what these proud, desperately let down, good people are going through.

It used to be the Paris of the ME, just like Baghdad was the Dubai back in the day.Nasheed here,
I wonder what all the lebs i know in my community who rack on about lebanon being the number one country, paris of the middle east, paradise on earth, better than australia etc are saying now.
I see this daily in the area.
We're very lucky the wider aussies still show compassion to us.
Yeah true, but then slowly in the last ten years after things got quiet again it started becoming 'sickest country cuz' 'best doctors in the world bro!' And 'why pay tax for? Come village' and bro, you know you can do the snow in lunch but then surfs at evening' and all these facts that are twisted truths presented to make Lebanon the best nation on earth, either shared on Facebook or told in the street. thats when the flags weren't being waved in the street and being told outright it's the best country to live in the world.It used to be the Paris of the ME, just like Baghdad was the Dubai back in the day.
Now it's just another 3rd world country in the shithole that is the Middle East.
Bahahahaha I hear that nearly every day.bro, you know you can do the snow in lunch but then surfs at evening'
Holy crap, 1 year already1 year anniversary of the Beirut blast today 4th August.
As a Lebanese Australian, it really saddens me to no end. I could have very easily been stuck in that country if my parents never migrated to Australia 55 years ago. I can’t help but empathize with everyone over there.
Yes absolutely. I'm not ME but you just have to empathise, and admire, the resilience of those people under such tough, and such poor, governance all roundAs a Lebanese Australian, it really saddens me to no end.
