I'm lebanese an were in Beirut a hour before the explosion but suddenly a family friend has died and I know exactly how it feels to be in Lebanon and I hope it gets better soon 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧â¤ï¸ÂÂâ¤ï¸ÂÂ
I came back here to check on these people. I was hoping things might have got better, that people were held responsible, and change had begun.
The beirut explosion is just a small explosion compared to a nuclear bomb and imagine what will happen to humanity if nuclear war starts…
felt like yesterday
the old lady on the piano in her destroyed home )''''''':
It's about time. All of you 144000 it's time to save this world. Now is the right time. When Armageddon is done. This world will be in forever peace
The jeep in the tumbnail is for my dad ,he survived
"THEY" want that port city. people are leaving in droves land is cheap . good investment for the greedy.
Hey..stop supporting terrorist and maybe someone will give a crap!
Do most people there have insurance? Has insurance covered the repair costs for the citizens ? What is the plan to repair the situation?
1 yr hmmm went by quick.
Grandma Golda and skull rock Dayan telling Americans what is and what will never be.
That lady playing her piano amongst all that destruction is such a powerful image. Wow. Hope she, as well as everyone affected by the explosion, are able to rebuild their lives.
Enough suffering in Lebanon and then the blast. Horrifying. Can’t believe its a year already.

sometimes random good things just happen.
This is what the us government is doing except with bio warfare
The black market exchange rates for Lebanese pounds is one big cause of the hyperinflation. They're giving much larger exchange rate than the government's exchange rates. The shutdown of Lebanans banks has also impoverished people from rebuilding as there savings have been frozen and most likely taken by the banks. And lastly the Beriut Port, which has been decimated from the blast, was their main port for foreign goods. It accounted for around 70% of the imported goods. Without these foreign goods their limited supply has forced soaring prices and their cost of production for most goods has soared resulting in even more inflation. Really tragic outcome and turn of events. I hope they can find a way to rebuild the port and eradicate their government's corruption.
Pray for Lebanon.
Nice propaganda
Tear gas 😫 water canons 😎 back in business 🤣🤣🤣
Send Ilhan Omar there.
The Paris Of The Middle East!🤷ðŸÂ¼â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ

Zephaniah 1:18– Neither their silver nor their gold Will be able to deliver them On the day of the Lord’s wrath; . . .
This should be a wake up call. Oh people are still being investigated lol 😂 they killed them. Just like every country. The government uses us as slaves and kills us. You think 9/11 or Boston is bad … this government let a nuke off …. Imagine this. How are those university degrees lol 😂 fake papers all around.
I think it's a setup by the government
Wise man once said , ''mankind will ultimately destroy himself ''.
she fine though
ABC knows all about running cover for corrupt politicians…hows your Emmy award winning, grandma killing, sexual harasser governor from New York?
Hey Remember Beirut? Your with us…- captain price all jokes aside. Prayers goes out to the country ðŸ™ÂÂ
☹ï¸ÂÂ
Someone tell courage the cowardly doctor this is not the time to settle and comforts and be safe; God is revolting, he is getting retribution, this is the time to stand strong and/or die for what is holy and right..who ever said she would even make it back to the US. I don't agree with leaving your post..all she have to do is pray for God's mighty protection and grace and she will make it..that couldn't have been me..Lebanon would be Holy Ground once I was finished showing the people how to go to God. #weakness won't get us nowhere. Time is up. The clock has struck 12, Do anyone see it??
OMG 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
ðŸ™ÂÂ
People in Lebanon are protesting against Hezbollah because they were behind explosion Beirut last year. Hezbollah needs to divert attention to this to cover their backs and have something to blame Israel for. That's why Hezbollah fired 3 missiles at Israel yesterday.
The only thing is, everyone in Lebanon knows what Hezbollah is doing
The U.S is well on its way to becoming like this.
It seems every event reported has an agenda behind it.
Thank God the doctor and her husband did live though. You both are alive Humd'Allah! An immeasurably powerful force to keep you together forever. God bless youðŸ™ÂÂ
