A banking crisis theres been a debt crisis lebanese are facing really so many pressures in so many directions so health care is one of those areas where the hospitals are old millions of dollars by the lebanese government Different Levels of pay hospitals for care so everyone is really hang on by a thread in this country and its really hard to predict what more could happen and this is it was a politically charged potentially this week because of the event that was due on friday talk us through the season one why its significant. Well the explosion immediately you know with the flashback of many people who have been through so many bombs and wars and in this country and one of the last violent events im up on was a series of assassination that rocked the country about a decade ago and most important of those with the Prime Minister is how did he was assassinated and his trial was done this murder. Has been resolved on going on for many many years one of those expensive trials mystery and there was supposed to be a report a coming the next few days but again its kind of a tenuous link i believe people and to the defense any kind of theory that they want. People will say that its. Israel people trying to have her claim again but its very its i think its very dangerous to jump to conclusion because its very politically opportune to do so and it has of its roots certainly the case in this country and certainly a problem that were not able to address issues because theres so much speculation about everything and tell me that the Prime Minister has called on friendly countries to help up to the boss and already a number of countries have offered assistance what sort of thing do you think theyll be asked to provide. Well i mean a lot and i mean all kinds of things you know were going through multiple crisis right now people are facing a hunger crisis i think that the bombing of the court which is a lifeline for the country a small country like will not rely on its force and had to force all around it the sea is our one outlet and so will be a big issue i have imagine the prices could even climb after that a lot of injured people definitely but the injuries and then ted as well hospitals in lebanon are very overt covert cases much room left in hospitals are not many but in lebanon so that will be a big concern but i think the longer term concern will be peoples how this will affect people that are already broke already bankrupt are living in poverty as the country of the Poverty Level in this country for the crisis on through the last month the crazy hyperinflation was going through so i mean i think people will only add insult to injury but salt of the world a bit of this crisis that was going through all kinds of humanitarian assistance food medicines the government will not be able to pay the price of medicines that our currency is so worthless at the moment so well need all kinds of help in all kinds of ways but most importantly let alone a top to really have a real government that can actually regulate society because again were an accident waiting to happen but there was another kind of natural in this country we really dont have the Response Teams that are that can even get to places that people need help thank you very much indeed have the better from that they need for thank you very much joining us from geneva.
