Bulgarians in Lebanon: A real nightmare  - 1

Panic and terror in Beirut after the massive rocket fire from Israel and the killing of the leader of “Hezbollah” Hassan Nasrallah. 2 and a half million people live in the capital of Lebanon, among them many Bulgarians.

Two Bulgarian women found themselves in close proximity to the bombings in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. They came here chasing love, today they are looking for a way out because of war. "With the first explosion, which was very strong, on the begom, it is actually a panic attack, they are looking for relatives - children, husband. My husband wasn't home, I started running and looking for him where he is. You just turn off what's going on. Second blast. They are one after the other, seconds. The children! To hug the children and see that they are by my side. And most importantly, away from the windows," said Ana Antonova Berro, quoted by Nova TV.

Petya Nikolova Abu Shedid is in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary in Harissa district. The day after the blasts, dozens come here. To pray. "As far as I know, there were also bombed in the next town, up in the mountains, next to the ski slope - they bombed again. This is the Christian part, in principle it should be calm with us," she said. Petya is running away from the war and is seeking help from our diplomats in Lebanon.
