Musa, a 24-yr-old port worker, lost his #Karantina home & his livelihood in the #BeirutBlast – some of his friends are missing. While his pregnant wife & children survived, Musa says they're suffering unimaginably & are being ignored bc they're Syrian: https://link.medium.com/Ddnei00bf9

'[My son] kept saying “baba, our home is destroyed, baba, our home is destroyed.” It broke my heart, to hear my son say that. He keeps saying it again and again, “baba, our home is destroyed.”'

'I’m totally shocked by what happened. Some friends at the port are still missing. No one is helping me. I’m sleeping with my family on the mattresses outside. We have nowhere to go. Look at this, the entire kitchen & all the rooms, have been destroyed. Everything is dust'

'Let me be honest. I'll say this bc of what I have experienced. What I’m going through now, it makes me feel like I’m not even human, the way we’re being treated bc we’re Syrian. This explosion, this racism, I hate it all. Let me speak the truth: our lives here are worthless'
