“When I was in Beirut, I had a hard time looking people in the eye. You can feel the suffering in all of them and it is something that I had never experienced in Lebanon before “, affirms Wound Lapidus, Franco-Lebanese singer, Sunday August 15 on franceinfo.
“In addition to the economic and then political crisis, there is a humanitarian crisis with the Covid-19. There are no more state structures. To deal with power cuts, there are generators, but gasoline is lacking, endangering hospital patients in particular. There is also a shortage of medicines and food “, comments journalist Sarah Briand.
“I have known war, I am a child of war, but this is worse than war. The Lebanese are dying slowly and we are powerless “, alarms Wound Lapidus.
“Schools remain closed for the start of the school year although they were open during the war. The Lebanese are waiting for emergency humanitarian aid and those lucky enough to be able to leave do so“, adds Sarah Briand, at the initiative of the collective work For the love of Beirut. “We have hit rock bottom “, concludes Wound Lapidus.
