"I have to go to my son’s house to take showers and to clean my clothes every day. Every time I leave my home, I leave it in fear that someone’s going to break in & take the little we have left away from us. We are desperate."
"In truth, I don’t have any more feelings. I’m spent. I love Beirut. But the situation here is disgusting. We’re done. We’ve lived in this appalling situation for long enough. We were born in it. We’re living in it. And now we will die in it."
"What am I supposed to do for attention? Do I need to go on TV to say I don’t have food to eat? I would rather die from hunger than go on TV and cry & say I don’t have food to eat. People are focusing on victims in specific areas or those who are going on TV. What about us?"
"We're hungry. We were never hungry before.If the priest didn’t visit everyday to give us cooked food, I don’t know what we’d do. We need plumbers, builders & labor workers to help us rebuild our home. That costs money & we’ve spent 3m lira so far before even thinking about food"
