“On the 4th of August 2020 at 6:07PM, a crime against humanity was commited.
A massive explosion occured at the port of Beirut – Lebanon, which was later classified as the 3rd non-nuclear explosion to have ever occured.
220 person killed, more than 7000 injured, and more than 300 000 people left homeless.
This did not happen in times of war, this happened in times where people thought they were safe in their own homes.
1 year has passed and not a single person was held accountable, and the rotten political class doesn’t even have the decency or respect to lift their diplomatic immunities and appear before court.
Flames.
Flames that burned down lebanon’s forests, flames that burned down the economy and people’s life-long savings, flames that destroyed the heart of Beirut, flames that burned down vital needs like food, electricity, medicine, fuel.
But most importantly, the flames that are raging inside us.” – Andrew Gebrael
