As a psychiatrist who has practiced 10 years in Middle Eastern countries I can confirm that all that is featured in this movie could happen and probably has happened in our society, regardless of background, ethnicity or religion. It is neither alien nor imported. #اصحاب_ولاأعز

I spent 14 years of my life outside Lebanon. I returned to settle in my home country, build a family and a career. I’m not ‘lucky’ that I got to leave again. At this stage we are exiles, not expats. This feeling is shared by many people I encounter personally and professionally.

If you were in Beirut on August 4th 2020 there were several reasons why you could have died and one reason why you did not: Luck. We are all victims of this act, not only the families of those killed. They dont need our sympathy, they need for their cause to be ours.

This looks like a PCR test to me
Ancient Egyptians treated some patients by eating moldy bread, and no one understood why. Until 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered that penicillin had a great effect as an antibiotic in bacteria.

If you really care about the victims and the survivors of August 4th 2020 please choose something else to share on social media but the video of the blast. No one has forgotten the explosion and many wish they could forget it. Re-traumatizing does not contribute to justice. 🇱🇧

You will not feel the depth of the medication crisis until you have to look for a drug for you or a family member. The situation is disastrous and most likely people are dying in silence for lack of treatment or lack of affordability. If this is not a priority, what is!

Beirut is a city that has suffered a lot over the years and from multiple aggressors, both internal and external.
But there is a different feel to how these guys bomb it. With unbridled shameless lust. 1982, 2006, 2024. The same images, the same hatred.

Videos of the explosion are being posted in the media and on TV. They are very traumatizing. Trauma does not lead to activism. Unfortunately some influencers have made it their mission to share the explosion from every angle daily. As a psychiatrist I feel this is irresponsible.

We complain that ministers have too much protection and too many bodyguards. A minister going out alone gets assaulted. What will be the consequence? More protection and more bodyguards. Confronting is one thing and assault is another. Fayad was unpopular. Now he is a victim.
