At the invitation of the Estonian Refugee Council, in August 2020, the Estonian people donated more than 10,000 euros to support the victims of the explosion in the Lebanese capital Beirut. We have previously written about Ziad, whose house was renovated with the help of Estonians. Here is the story of Saad.

On 4^th of August, the Beirut port explosion destroyed one third of the city; unfortunately several members of SAWA’s team where directly affected, due to the proximity of their homes. Ziad lives in Achrafieh, a few hundred meters away from the blast epicenter; his apartment is located on the 6^th floor of an old building near the Saint Georges hospital which endured great destruction and a number of casualties.

Annetustega toetatakse peresid, kelle kodud said 4. augusti ammooniumnitraadi plahvatuse käigus kannatada.
