Yesterday, nearly 90 of our compatriots successfully returned to Bulgaria from Lebanon with the help of the government plane. Hours after they landed in the country we were able to meet one of them. Tatiana told bTV how difficult but necessary the decision to evacuate was.
„Our history is like that of most Lebanese – we live in Lebanon, but we constantly travel to Bulgaria, because since we went to live in 1983. - civil war, then a second war – Israeli“, she said.
„We live in a relatively peaceful area, but we could hear the planes and the blast that killed Hassan Nasrallah. No one has ever experienced anything like this. I first heard the vibration in the elevator of the building where we live. My first thought was to determine where and what was happening, Tatyana Mokdad recalls.
Meanwhile, the Bulgarian family in Lebanon, who during the weekends had a lot of difficulty in contacting a representative of our embassy in Beirut, managed to make contact today and expect them to return to our country with the second flight of the government plane. The family is still concerned for their safety and prefers that their names not be mentioned.
