- I'm walking the streets of Tripoli in Lebanon. Perhaps Lebanon's poorest city. I want to understand how people live given the challenging situation in the country.

I am 79. I am glad to be "old" because I have been able to see parts of the world before their destruction or severe economic change. Though I am an American, when I was really young, I married a Lebanese Muslim in Minneapolis. When he completed his education, we moved to Beirut right after the Six Day War in June 1967. It's all a long story, so I won't go into detail. I have seen Lebanon when it was so beautiful and life was manageable, but that started to change drastically with the civil war in 1975. Both my children were born in that area; my oldest in Beirut, and youngest in Saudi Arabia, where my former husband use to work. I have visited Egypt, Iraq, and Syria, all before the wars there. Ale, thank you for sharing your travels with us.
Islamist Extremists destroy life in one country after another in the middle east. Iran,Lebanon,they are constantly trying to destroy Israel. Palestine ? Free ?? The Ottoman Turks never acknowleged such a country,it was a region.
They owned the land for several centuries before The British and Jews lived there also.
The Turk decided,they did not countenance nonsense from The Palestinian Arab either. The rebelous were dealt with, - HARSHLY. The Turks were not adverse to aerial attacks either. Once their pals The Austro Hungarians and Germans helped them with an airforce !
Thank y;ou for sharing your experiences. I too am an octogenarian; 88 and remember well life at the outbreak of WW2. As a precocious 6 y.old I listened to Hitler's voice and registered the fear amoung. . German speakers where we lived. What is so horrifying for me now in my old age are the many parallels between the rhetoric of Bibi Netanyahu and Adolf Hitler. The comparisons to animals, nonhuman
' to be exterminated with reference to Jews,Slavs, mentally disabled etc. The horrors of concentration camps where German efficiency was brought to fulfill Nazi ideals shocked the world so much that all victims morphed into the Jews \providing the impetus for Zionism as the world shut its gaze on Palestine supporting a Jewish homeland away from Europe where the atrocities occurred. Arab nations were not consulted. It's true that a sizeable population of Sephardim lived with Christian's and other faiths in the Holy Land. The influx of the Ashkenazy Jews from Europe and later America seem to have been infected with hubris based on a sense of divine purpose; Israelis are never tobe held to account for anything they choose to do. Palestinian Christians were unable to hold Mass in Bethlehem this year due to Israeli paranoiea. These Christians are the descendants of the followers of Jesus. Israeli propoganda has reduced the Palestinian population to factions described by the Holocaust industry. USian Jews and fundamentalist Christians will. Destroy Israel with their rage and entitlement. Many devout Jews , Rabbis have spoken up about this but the screaming banshees of the Holocaust industry drown their good sense; devout Jews, Christians and Moslems ; descendants of Abraham need tobe heard lest screeching Zionists destroy us all.
And also Jews were forbidden to pray at the Western Wall during Jordanian Moslem rule in Judea and Samaria from 48-67, you haven't forgotten that i hope.@@btjmrp
Well said @@btjmrp
You should seriously write a book! You have so much to share and tell!!
Great Video , people don't understand how little youtube pays for views, you are doing such an outstanding work showing the reality of the situation in lebanon without hidding or whitewashing but also showing the good, I wish you success.
Thank you so much and glad you liked this video, hope more people can see what's going on in Lebanon! 🙏🏼
Watch fly over Lebanon & see the stunning beauty of Lebanon
watching your video from Europa and i see that the situation in Lebanon is not so good, but when i've seen how polite and ambitious the people of Lebanon are, i just realised that this country will recover one day and Lebanon will be a strong nation and people will have a good life there! Thank you for sharing and i am waiting for the next episode 👏☺
Thank you very much! Hope the situation improves in the future 🙏🏼
As born raised up to age15 in leb. Built on sand. Since 1990 when warlords became, still are govt, it's gone to hell, I don't see it ever recovering until khomeinis Iran is 100% out, even then, unknown !!
@@LoverOFhopeANDcompassionvery good point.
@@LoverOFhopeANDcompassionwhat has your incompetent country have to do with Iran. This Israeli's will take care of you all soon so you can understand
Those young boys interviewed brought me in tears and had lots of realizations. Despite the happening, they are still optimistic. Here in The Philippines, when we reached at peak of 10%inflation, we complained a lot and some even got into suicidal thoughts cuz of it.
Hoping for the best, Lebanon.
I didn't expect to hear flawless French being spoken in Lebanon. Beautiful food and people. Peace and prosperity to Lebanon.
@@marybornmusicLebanon is a former French colony,hence the fluency in French
It was a great collaboration to produce this video! Thanks for showing the core of Lebanese people❤️🙏🏻
Thank you Nader, what an incredible story and amazing people! 🙏🏻
This does not reflect the true Lebanese image.....am sorry go google about the elite & outstanding Lebanese all over the world.....graduated from Lebanese universities & spread world wide
Am sorry but this is ABSOLUTELY FALSE statement.....this isn't the core of the Lebanese people.....do some research about outstanding brilliant successful Lebanese on planet earth.... what's shown in the video is a mixture of refugees & some poor people of that district....you see a lot of poor & homeless people in the most civilized countries.....come on
This young guy selling orange juice stole my heart, and I liked how he was happy about his situation🙏🏻
Bro, how do you not have at least 150k+ subs already. Your stuff looks PRO 📸, engaging, informational, and honest.. Man, keep killing it, the crowd will come 💪🏽 🙏🏽
Thanks man for the kind words! 💪 You have some great cargo trailer videos on your channel, keep it up!
🤝🙏 Respect brotha, Appreciate yah!@@AleSalvino
I know how many hours it took to do this kind of video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thank you! 🙏
❤💐
Thank you for a great video about Tripoli and El Mina. You have touched on what keeps the people intact in spite of the corrupt politicians. It is their good heart, They help each other with little means. Everyone knows their neighbours, you cant eat while your neighbour is hungry. If any other country in the world had to face what lebanon has faced, corruption, high inflation, your money is frozen in the banks, no subsidised hospital system, the crime rate would have been so high and unbearable. The crime rate in lebanon is low and everyone is willing to help. I hope Peace prevails in the middle east and prosperity finds its way back to the hospitable and good hearted lebanese people.
So many touching moments in this video, but these stories of the kids just tore my heart, leaving schools to help parents to squeeze juices or sell street food. Really sad that lots of people lost hope and see no future. However, the restaurant owner I think brightened the video with his attitude and smile. I pray for better future in Lebanon ❤🩹thanks for an outstanding video, hope many more people will discover your channel and support in any way they can 🙏🏻
Indeed, so many intense moments and I hope the situation improves in the future. Incredible people and thank you as always! :)
Ale, that was such an amazing insight into Tripoli and its people. I was immersed in the moment and felt as though I was there. I really like your kindness, sensitivity and understanding of the problems affecting almost everyone there. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words! 🙏🏼
My grandma was from Lebanon and i dream to go there one day. The hospitality and strength is like no other.
Thank you for sharing different perspectives of the many people living here!
Thank you Abhi!
I really love these candid interviews with locals. Thank you for giving us some small window into their world.
Awesome videos! Thank you Ale.
Glad you like them!
Such a beautiful footage of Lebanon. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Am sorry but that's not all about Lebanon......this is a very minor part......Lebanon is full of life watch other videos that show the bright side & the half full glass of water
Beautiful vlog..beautiful people..peace to all!!😂😂❤
Unique approach to actively seek out average citizens and engage with them regarding their everyday hopes and dreams, economic situation versus other videos mostly ignore all this and go to cliche tourist sites..
I regret not going to Tripoli last trip in oct 2018. Definitely my top destination next year.
Amazing video👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you 👍
I was in Lebanon back in October and took a day trip to Tripoli. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the overall vibe there.
A man noticed I wasnt a local and questioned why I would come to Tripoli, but Im really glad I experienced it.
Thanks for sharing! It’s an incredible place to explore 🙏🏼
Alejandro excelente video !!!
Gracias 🙏🏼
Thank you loveld the video 😊
A poor woman asked you:" why are you filming poor people?"
The question is:"what benefits do you get from exposing poor people in a poor district of Tripoli?" There are majestic spots of ancient civilization in other places of Tripoli itself, the towering fortress built by the Crusaders (1103-1104) & many other monuments there.
True, some local corrupted politicians (found everywhere in the world) promoted poverty in those areas, & accepted enormous amounts of refugees (mingling in the streets of Tripoli). They were imposed on us by the European Union.....
Lebanon has a long ancient history of civilization & was exposed to many civilizations along history. I don't think any place on Earth could withstand conspiracies stirring wars every now & then not to mention the explosion of our seaport...(2020)
Lebanon a gem in the heart of the Mediterranean is a major key to the so called Civilized world where you see places far worse than that of Tripoli....homeless scattered everywhere amongst filth...
The kindness you experienced from those people who offered you food for FREE, you never find in other places....
Lebanon had been & still is the Educational, medical fashion & art hub of the Middle East....
I think Google maps should be offended by your statement:"
Google maps not accurate in Tripoli".... it's widely used all over Lebanon.
LEBANON is rising & will always do so despite the continuous conspiracies, as you heard from poor optimistic people....
God bless LEBANON
Great comment. Well said.
U said the truth
I really enjoyed your video. I have recent ancestors from Lebanon, (north). Thank you!
God bless these lovely people please help them Lord❤❤
Very informative thankyou.
Glad it was helpful.
I love ur channel ❤️
Me too!
Thank you both! ❤️
Wait are we talking about Tripoli? If yes this is so sad this city was so promising throughout the late sixties/early seventies… the international fair… it was on it’s way to be a second Beyrouth
tripoli is actually a really nice city, definetely not fancy like beyrouth but it has a whole other vibe, also al mina is a very good neighborhood
I am Lebanese, big thanks to the Lebanese that were with you, you are our hope for a better future 💖 big hugs for our lovely kids with dazzling Smiles... and Hearts...
For those who don't know, yes Tripoli was known to be the mother of the poor before, because the prices were fairly low and people would come from all Lebanon to buy stuffs.
Yes the corruption is eating our country, but we are making our way back, maybe slowly but certainly.
This video emphasizes the problems of poverty which exists sadly in many places in Lebanon and it breaks our heart... and yes it doesn't show the other lifestyle of Tripolitains. It is a complex City with different vibes, and there are places that are great, colorful, amazing vibes and very lively .....
We Lebanese Diaspora we do our best to help, we hold our country in our heart, even with the differents flaws and problems and we dream and work for a better future.
Each time I see negative and aggressive comments about Lebanese Diversity, it breaks my heart, stop the hate, the propaganda, the fear, racism ....
Nous voulons la Paix, nous voulons vivre en paix entre nous. Love and Peace for all of us.
Wow, I loved this film!!! Muchas gracias. A beautiful way to understand what life is like there for the locals. I remember living with 90% inflation in Turkey in the 90s and early 2000s, and I'm afraid that now they have hyper inflation it really seems that life in Turkey is rapidly on a trajectory to becoming more like Lebanon each day. Amazing story. Thanks.
Tku so much, Ale. It was wonderful seeing how friendly and sweet these people are; interesting that you don't speak Arabic, which I wish I knew, but there's always a translator you can hire. I cannot believe the price of things in Tripoli; I follow global politics, and it's simply sorrowful what rich "politicians" have done to Lebanon and its disgraceful gov't, especially after the horrific blast on the Beirut port. Did you visit Byblos or Balbek while in Lebanon? I'd love to see those places, and tourism could be so wonderful and profitable there, but instability caused by them basically prohibit that for a single woman. Melei spoke at WEF yesterday, and wow! He ended his honest speech to the world with "Long life, freedom. Damn it!" Soy de EEUU, y vivo en Mexico. Puedo vivir como una reina en Lebanon. Gracias! 🙂
I really enjoyed the video. Best wishes to all the Lebanese People.
Beautiful and warm people....would love to see their markets and sample all of the food.
My beautiful country❤❤😢😢
Thank you Ale Salvino !❤
Long live Lebanon !❤
Thanks for watching!
Yeah once Islamist Extremists are kicked into touch,and religion becomes tolerant again.
I am of Lebanese blood having spent my youth in Lebanon, we emigrated to the US more than 50 years ago. Over the years, I frequently visited Lebanon with my family including my American wife and children. It was sad to see the transformation of the country over the years from Prosperity into absolute poverty. The country is run by an organized mafia who cares less about the welfare of the people. Last time I went back was in in 2016 to bid everyone I know farewell, but it breaks my heart to see the suffering of the people.
Your country deserves better, you don’t need war. We have a huge population of Lebanese in Brasil, beautiful people.
Your are missing a lot of beautiful Lebanon. Stay where are and lament your bad luck.
The view over the water is gorgeous. Such a sad story for the young man. The youth seem to have a more optimistic view of the future. What a small world to see your friend from the World Cup!!!
Thank you guys! Hope the situation improves at some point, particularly for this young and optimistic generation. And yes, the world is crazy small... what are the chances of finding these people from the World Cup in Lebanon! 😀
@@AleSalvino 🇦🇷🇦🇷
May Allah bless all the people of Lebanon woth afiya.May Allah help Ebrahim go to school.Aameen.
Beautiful people, they don’t need war.
God bless this country ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
!Excelente! !Te felicito! !Que Dios te bendiga y ayude mucho al pueblo del Líbano!
Gracias y esperemos que todo mejore para el pueblo del Líbano!
It's shocking that people of Lebanon have tolerating their irresponsible government for so long. If this happens in other countries there will be a revolution for sure.
Not Lebanese’s fault, the Palestinians did this.
Spoken like a true ignorant person. 🎉
@@jamesjohnston3706 ok be like that
Lebanon is such a nice country to visit. The people are so kind and despite the stresses on the population, it is as safe as Japan for a visitor. History, culture, natural beauty is unsurpassed anywhere. Go and see!
Well said after all that's the TRUTH
INTERSTING VIDEO IT SEEM TOO SHORT FOR ME BUT I LOVE IT. THANK YOU 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you liked it, thank you!
as someone from Tripoli , the question that always arises is why this flourishing city went this far in terms of misery and poverty , in simple words " the city representatives " maybe are the most corrupt people ever known , take the wealthy city council as a example ( 2nd richest in Lebanon ) with enormous funds . nothing to hide that during the last 50 years those funds were merely used in corruption deals and projects .... Till this very moment it doesn't seems that there are any other alternative to choose ( those representatives ) and it's kind of devastating
سلام على لبنان و اهل لبنان و اكل لبنان و جو لبنان..🇹🇳🇱🇧
تسلم يا رب❤
I love Tripoli and its people! The young lady explains is fantastic! She has a future in Media!
I live in Scotland.
One thing I find, no matter where i go is that, people are the same. Good hearts, kind and only want to work to provide for their family.
As a famous poet from Scotland (Robert Burns) wrote, "Then let us pray that come it may,
As come it will for a’ that,
That Sense and Worth, o’er a’ the earth
Shall bear the gree an’ a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
It’s comin yet for a’ that,
That Man to Man the warld o’er
Shall brithers be for a’ that."
Tripoli the city of my childhood i grew up visiting every weekend and I studied there. The best city ever.
As soon as the religion of peace became the majority in Lebanon it went down hill fast, what a pity for what was a great country
Poor giving food for no payment..... This is real human generosity. Would never happen in "civilised" West.
True hospitality & kindness are our traits which are absent in the West
😊😊😊😊😊 confidence eredorlte aurop been lebanon 🇱🇧 is good and healling.
Thanks for the video! Im in America and like seeing different people and places, But i wouldn't go my self, Because i like my head where it is! loll..
Why do you think that people there will behead you? Lol
White American in Lebanon! Ya right! I dont have no part in what happens in that part of the world and that doesn't stop them from being taken and end up on Video! But we all know how dumb Americans go to these places to visit and end up getting grabbed by the Crazies! lol. The name you have sounds like you are from that part of the World and know this well!
Hell , You could be one of those head hunters! lollll.@@hassanfarhat3513
Go & enjoy the Beauty of Lebanon it's among the safest place in the world check out the night life in Lebanon it shows you how safe it is
Lebanon used to be a well-developed economy during the 1970s before the civil war began.
Sad to see how it has gone astray due to economic mismanagement and sectarianism.
Lebanon is a beautiful country it should be thriving
Thank you
❤❤❤
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
WOW.. I had no idea how the world ruined this country.. $0.0009 for a loaf of bread!!
This is lovely.
Thank you.
I just got back from Lebanon. It’s a very poor country, a third-world country, with the infrastructure falling apart. There's no government and no police. I've never seen so much trash, just like in Egypt. It used to be such a beautiful country, and now it's just garbage. My boyfriend is Lebanese, and he's selling all of his gas stations this year and moving back to Lebanon.😖
ATLANTIC CITY!
respect,kid!
Great documentary and so sad to see how poor people are struggling🙁horrible with corrupt leaders
How lovely 🌹🌹🌹
Indeed!
this guy should have 1M+ how he is just 18k keep it up
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
God bless Lebanon!
Lebanon was once a country that was decent, civilized and had modern conveniences. Their own people should study how and what brought this once beautiful country at this very squalor place.
Islamist Lunatics and their Death Cult !
I can’t stand seeing these comments, questioning why the Middle East isn’t stable due to their belief in religion.. this is what happens when Western countries decimate the region
I don't agree with your comment.
Countries and people in middle east that decided to go toward western way of life and values are enjoying better quality of life.
Those who decided to not, to "fight the opressors " are poor and staying poor.
If you think this is the poorest city in Lebanon you should see Sabra and Shatila..
Hope next time I can visit those! Welcome to the channel 🙏🏼
My home town tripoli Badawi
Guts i live in lebanon in Beirut was a explode it happened in 2020 but i love my country 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤💘💘💘💘💘😭👇👇👇👍👍👍👇👇❤💘😭❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🇱🇧❤❤💘😭🙏🏻🙏🏻❤😭💘❤💘👇👍👇😭❤🙏🏻🇱🇧🇦🇪🇱🇧❤💘👇👍🙏🏻🙏🏻💘😭👇👍👍😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is why other countries are always fighting the middle east government. Because of their lack of caring for their people is terrible.
No actually there are much deeper issues for fighting
We love you Lebanon
God bless LEBANON
Their poorest city is richer than the richest city in gold.
Why didn't you mention there was a very violent civil war 1975-1982 in lebanon
this is my countryyy even if anyone says its the worst country i love my counry
Lebanon has always had a corrupt government, but the Lebanese people always persevere.
That's where I was born, Tripoli is a very big port city with lots of money flowing through it....unfortunately the politicians eat it all up.
🙏🏾✝️🙏✌️✌️
Saludos no sabia eras Argentino. Mis ancestros de parte materna eran de Tripoli. Era mi ilusion conoces esas tieras pero es una lastima ver como un pais tan prospero se consume a si mismo. No se si sientea algo similar a lo quw pasa en Argentina con la inflacion. Tuve la dicha de conoser tu pais y me guato bastante solo que igual vi como la inflacion se apoderaba de la felicidad de la gente.
Hola! Una pena el tema de la inflación ya que trae pobreza. Ojalá tanto Argentina como el Líbano puedan mejorar y puedas visitar Tripoli en el futuro 🙏🏼
What happened to lebanon all of a sudden.
Murderous Loony's, they thrive in the Middle East !
@@ElSora-ws8zfIsrael? 😢
How about *sharing everything willfully* and I'm not being ideological really but I feel this is a way out. This will break the whole system in one day. It's just that people should trust themselves more than the system.
No one should find it hard to live, eat and get a decent sleep in a home. Resources should be enough for everyone and they are. Then innovation arises and science and technology reach new unimaginable boundaries since the population is no longer oppressed. The day a robot takes your job should be your happy day. We should do the job we are only convinced of. Thus making an innovative society evolving to what is really useful, not to serve people in power or their greedy interests or banks’ usury. Money becomes then something we care less about.
However billionaires are a role model to average people and this is the problem really! As if people want this bad system. No billionaire can be as such without the agreement by the general public on the scarcity of money, here comes the virtue of "sharing willfully". And btw this should start by the poor because the slightly richer and the richer might be reluctant and a little hesitant at first, but if the poor were firm, possessions lost their scarcity, and extra possessions lost their need then money will follow, reaching a new balance and the rest of the population will join making a domino effect. Then the authority will inherently reflect the usefulness and true benefit ! It's no longer a matter of possession, controlling or manipulating. A careless government won't have a medium to misuse the power to serve any greedy elite, because people are already not in need then.
So we shall see legitimate governments.
This theory provides a robust means to ensure justice since it starts from people's will.
Please share it if you like it. There is really no time to lose.
What happens today in Gaza is a natural byproduct of the arrogance of elites which happened 100 years ago back in Palestine when land was stolen and natives there didn't ever have the chance in self determination. Ever. Forget everything about democracy. All lies. And then resistance against the Z people (who control your government now) emerged and grew ever more and we reached here.
Ale I think you should send this video to the son of tripoli cheap billionaire Najib
Mikati and his brother
You should have free health care if you are poor. Everyone should be entitled to proper health care. And it should be free or affordable. It's wrong.
Comment to author: Lybia and Lebanon are not the same country
The situation will only tragically become more complicated for the people of Lebanon now that Israel has been attacked. The Israeli response will be brutal.
I wish for Lebanese people to make peace with Israel
This video has so many negatives, You need to include the positives. I lived in Lebanon for 10 years and it doest seem like how bad this video is. Lebanon is beautiful country, so many tourists visit in summer
You are amazing. I want to thank you very much. As an Israeli, unfortunately I will never travel there and I have always been intrigued by what it looks like and how the life and people there are. The next program in Israel should be!
No, it's who ever is the leader is. I don't know if you have a king or a queen. Or a government that governs Lebanon. But they are abusing their people and cares for themselves.
Why don't you search about the history of Lebanon.....
I dont know, this man ask about future instead of present, only God knows future. Anything can happen tomorrow, even finding billions barrels of petroleo in the land. They can be rich as Qatar.
The kids are delight, blooming with joy of life. How can they say that this kids have no future? The adult people are the one that take away the faith of life.
This is so utterly sad. The Israelis would love to have peace with the Lebanese. It's not their preference for war at all. Hezbollah is controlled by Iran which is an evil group of madmen taken over Iran. Iranian people already know that the Israeli people love them, the Israelis wish the same to the people of Lebanon. I am Israeli, this is my message.
Can you speak quieter and softer please....😂
Lebanon was the cote dazure of the Middle East. It was stunningly beautiful. Democratic and free. Who did this to Lebanon? And why are people trying to leave every Muslim country in the world?
lebanon still is a great country, not like its previous glory but it will sooner or later reach that again,
Blame Israel
That is what happened when a government uses the dollar!
They have mony for hisballa la la.
This country used to be called the 'Switzerland of the M.E.' when the Christians were a majority and there was a rule of law.
just remember everyone, Lebanon was a majority Christian country in the 60's..... by the 80's, the country had taken too many refugees and went to civil war with Hezbollah. Now look at it.
Poorest city looks like the richest city in Kazakhstan
