TIME Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (TIME MagazineInstagram)「Nour Saliba stands in her apartment in the Mar Mikhael area of Beirut on Aug. 6, two days after the deadly explosion at the city’s port, seen through her blown-out window. “Honestly, I had it easy. I only lost my home. I am one of the lucky ones who still have their family and friends by their side,” says the 27-year-old community manager and model. “Trauma is written all over the fumes of this explosion. Yes, we are all traumatized, but we are also burnt out. Last October, the Lebanese people had to put out fires that were devastating our forests because our government was unable to do its job. On top of our basic human needs being unmet (access to electricity, water and food), we sunk into an economic crisis so severe that a big chunk of the population was pushed into poverty. In the midst of our street protests that were answered with violence and aggression, the pandemic arrived. On Tuesday, what couldn't have gotten any worse became worse than we could have ever imagined.” Adds Saliba, “This is a call for solidarity, for donations, for sharing information, for support and for pressure on our government. We deserve better. We deserve to say more than ‘I’m lucky to be alive.’” Photograph by @myriamboulos for TIME」8月8日 21時55分
