Melissa Fathallah erinnert sich noch genau an die Stromkabel, die am Abend des 4. Augusts 2020 überall im Stadtviertel Gemmayzeh unweit des Hafens von Beirut herunterhingen. «Sie sahen aus wie die schwarzen Tentakel eines Monsters», sagt sie. Menschen lagen zwischen Trümmern und Autowracks in Blutlachen. Es war ein Albtraum aus Rot und Schwarz, Stöhnen und Schreien, durch den Fathallah sich ihren Weg bahnen musste.

“No one is exempt from COVID. Nobody. Nobody has super-power immunity,” said Melissa Fathallah, one of the founders of Baytna Baytak, Arabic for Our Home is Your Home. “We saw that our own relatives and our colleagues are suffering with this, we decided, okay, we are going to start another fundraiser and to specifically focus on the oxygen machines.” Raising more than $27,000, they currently have placed 48 machines with those who need it across the country.
