The plight of cancer patients in Lebanon (Write the Wrongs - episode 30)
from Verba Manent · host Verba Manent
You’re scrolling through instagram on a lazy evening and you come across Rania, your classmate, announcing online that she is planning to visit home for a while and asking her followers what medicines they need that she could bring back from France. She asks you and her friends from university for donations, anything, and you wonder what kind of home she must be flying back to. This is the reality for Lebanese people worldwide: expats and visitors scrambling to send back resources and medication to their struggling friends and family, and even strangers, back home in Lebanon. It could seem that the country is running on the charity of its sizable diaspora, which is only growing by the day as masses of Lebanese are emigrating to what they hope is a brighter future. How are the patients in Lebanon coping, and what can be done for them?
