@@abhi739 Not only are you delusional but you're also full of shxt. 1. Every minority non-Arab and non-Muslim faction in Lebanon is in alliance with larger Arab Sunni and Arab Shia factions as part of blocs. Every Muslim party is allied with Christian, Druze and socialist parties in Lebanon. Nobody's being sidetracked and they each have power in govt ingrained into law. 2. Lebanon's largest trading partners included Syria and Iran, and it is Western sanctions on Lebanese politicians, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran that has heavily contributed to Lebanon's economic woes. In addition to the corrupt elite with Western bank accounts and residences in the US and France, etc. 3. Why does Hezbollah need to smuggle fuel in in the first place? It's because Western sanctions prevent Lebanon from even buying Iranian oil, so then Hezbollah has to import them into Syrian ports and then drive them into Lebanon via trucks. 4. Lebanon hosts _the_ largest refugee population by percentage and capita in the world. Palestinian refugees displaced by ethnic cleansing by lsraeI in the 20th century, numbering up to 500,000. Iraqis, numbering around 50,000. Syrians, numbering around 1.5 million. So over 2-million of Lebanon's 7-million population is refugees, which is around 1/3 of the population.

Lebanon doesn’t have a steady supply of electricity from the government. 2-3/4 of the day is spent on privately owned generators so in this case diesel and gas is essential. The people in these homes need AC and fridges to keep their food fresh. Especially during the summer where lebanon easily reached 38 C.

"Better for us financially" right - goes to show majority of people in medicine look after their own pockets first. No one wants to study hard for 5 years and get absolutely crushed by a failing system, but in essence this is what they must go through during their countries time of need. Is it fair for them to leave or are they being selfish? Struggling to come to a conclusion.
5 years? Try 11 kid It’s 4 years of undergraduate training. Then 4 more years medical school. None of which you get paid for. Finally, an additional 3 years of residency training where you get paid minimum wage working 80hrs/week. 11 years total and you don’t want us to be financially rewarded?
@@Habsforthewin nope not saying that, just saying that if you leave your country in time of economic collapse and need, where families are begging for help because you feel like you need money right now then you are selfish, you shouldnt have done medicine for that reason alone. Now if your country was fine and not amidst economic collapse and you left for a better life, thats completely understandable. Seeing this video, I might do the same and leave like the many doctors who left in the countries time of need but I am not in that situation so i wouldnt know.
Wonder what happened in Lebanon for it to come to this? Looks like... someone aided some warlords in a war. But who would do such a thing then never acknowledge it and close the door behind them? Hmmmm
@@johnduddy2359 Lebanon’s 2nd largest religion is Christianity with Islam being the largest at 56% of the population and the remaining 44% are Christian’s.
If your looking at the US then you would be very much incorrect about that. A large part of Lebanon’s Muslim population supports the Hezbollah political group which is backed by Iran, whose objective is to gain proxy control to countries as close to Israel as possible with the eventual goal of destroying Israel, as you can imagine, not everyone is okay with that and there you have a civil conflict. Lebanon is also incredibly corrupt, from the traffic police running cash schemes on motorists all the way to top level government officials benefiting and supporting local militias, complacency in transnational drug smuggling, and just flat out cutting themselves checks from the country’s check books.
Infighting, corruption, incompetence. For instance, weed was illegal but extremely common in Lebanon until recently. Most of the growers belonged to local militias that were effectively above the law as they fought their own wars and ran their own turf. These guys WANTED TO KEEP WEED ILLEGAL so that they could maintain their near monopoly and charge inflated prices.
Lebanon's largest trading partners included Syria and Iran, and it is US/EU sanctions on Lebanese politicians, Syria and Iran that has heavily contributed to Lebanon's economic woes. In addition to the corrupt elite with Western bank accounts and residences in the US, France, etc siphoning money overseas. Western sanctions also prevent Lebanon from even buying Iranian oil, so then Hezbollah has to import them into Syrian ports and then drive them into Lebanon via trucks but it's not enough for the whole country.

So over 2-million of Lebanon's 7-million population is refugees, which is around 1/3 of the population.
I wonder why people would want to have children - all the problems besetting the world have each year got worse and worse and show no signs of any improvement whatsoever. Lebanon, having been beset by war for years, has also been beset by bad and corrupt governments that have neglected the needs of their people and not taken action to avoid tragedies like the port explosion in Beirut last year which killed over 200 people but was so, so, easily avoidable.
At least the out going health minister looked lovely in his finery and gold watch and in the event he or family get sick are dealt with in private facilities. That's reassuring. What an absolute fkn disgrace. Where is the global support for Lebanon.? Where are Lebanon's brothers? This is sickening.
This is sad they dont have basic needs as basic healthcare or medications this break my heart the gov is rich and their people are dying from lack of medicine and basic goods .
Look at your neighbour to the south and ask yourself how she got to be so prosperous and then look into yourself and ask where you went so horribly wrong.
The answer is clear. The neighbour in the south doesn’t have to worry about Muslims who constantly try to make it iran 2.0, didn’t have palestinians starting a civil war, wasn’t occupied by Syria. Lebanon was extremely prosperous in the early 70s till the Palestinians started the civil war which lead to corrupt politics and groups coming into power and since then it’s been down hill. The fault is not really on the Lebanese people. There were outside forces which created a snowball effect which can’t be stopped
Most of the infrastructure and hirer education was built by the French colonial government and later some US investors. Year after year, a little more of it falls apart due to corruption, incompetence, and infighting. Year after year, people borrow or scam to maintain their lifestyles. For instance, it's common practice in Lebanon to lure in immigrants with promises of pay they can't keep. Once in country they take the "kafala's" passport and don't pay them, or lock them up, or beat them, or use them as sex slaves. Lebanon is the largest abuser per capita of prescription meds. IDK what effect that had on the hospital in the video. The railroads were abandoned during the civil war and were never rebuilt. But there's still a railroad department that draws a budget. Large fires due to the total lack of occupational safety is common. State subsidized gasoline which was how many Lebanese could afford driving. Much of said gasoline wasn't sold in Lebanon, which was fraud. Much of the gasoline was smuggled into Syria for money. Much of the subsidy money was pinched. Suddenly the state runs out of money and the gas stations run out of gas. The list goes on. And on. And on.
Lebanon didn't have much oil, and in the oil states the revenue from those enterprises doesn't effect common people much. Lebanon has exported limestone, natural gas, salt, and agricultural goods and they imported modern manufactured goods. It comes down to systemic incompetence, corruption, and infighting. There's only a couple dozen major issues.
Story quotes; They wait to charge more before restocking their shelfs seems like a shortage isn't the issue .... Humanity was built so much tougher century's ago when humanity was more accepting to travel to survive.
Don't be silly. You know reality of that situation means exporting western doctors to the turdworld (more than we do already). Even then turdworld medicine will suffer from broke patients, substance abuse, corruption, politicization, and lack of qualified personnel.
i tried last year to donate to a NGO which was ment to specificaly support the medical system. as far as i know the donation never went were it was supposed to. without the international community finaly getting real support programms going, there won't be any change. when you look at how ressources are still funneld out of the country, while it's people wither away, it leaves you speechless...and tbh. pretty angry at the industrialized world.
Keep strong. I feel worse for the health minister whi was foing his best and regime change led to him being replaced. I never understood why when regimes change that so many ministers do too. They have a wealth of experience that's being wasted

Lebanon doesn’t have a steady supply of electricity from the government. 2-3/4 of the day is spent on privately owned generators so in this case diesel and gas is essential. The people in these homes need AC and fridges to keep their food fresh. Especially during the summer where lebanon easily reached 38 C.
He's BSing. This part of the world is loaded with entitled Karen's that will insist literally anything is their right. Including the right to beat people with a rock in "protest."
@ألف ومية found another Karen.
I have never felt more disappointed in this ONE life of mine that such content was not shown to me at a much earlier time.
The UN needs to help them
You know UN charity is code for charity from Christian nations, right?
And last night in Dubai, I was surrounded by 3 tables filled with nothing but Lebanese immigrants, dinning in galore, in a fancy restaurant, with bills running as high as 200-300 USD. I’m always dumbfounded by that fact.
Please I am going to start a kickstarter if anyone wants to help with the elderly lady for her pacemaker can anyone help me organize this and promote it please
I was here to get a PCR test for my flight back it looked like a third world hospital
Well, because it is a third world hospital.. at least you paid almost nothing for the pcr test, 8$ or so?
Because you enslave and mistreat third world country people who come to your country to work. God is watching.
Sad world we live in
Guys I am trying to reach out to the hospital, no response yet I may have some contacts in lebabnon to reach out to this leady and her son, if we start fundraiser please help I will verify all the funds are goinq personal contact info and everything I use my real name as my youtube name
I really like your videos but I need more translation , thanks
Spoken translation
Ahh the greed...
"Better for us financially" right - goes to show majority of people in medicine look after their own pockets first. No one wants to study hard for 5 years and get absolutely crushed by a failing system, but in essence this is what they must go through during their countries time of need. Is it fair for them to leave or are they being selfish? Struggling to come to a conclusion.
5 years? Try 11 kid
It’s 4 years of undergraduate training. Then 4 more years medical school. None of which you get paid for. Finally, an additional 3 years of residency training where you get paid minimum wage working 80hrs/week.
11 years total and you don’t want us to be financially rewarded?
@@Habsforthewin nope not saying that, just saying that if you leave your country in time of economic collapse and need, where families are begging for help because you feel like you need money right now then you are selfish, you shouldnt have done medicine for that reason alone.
Now if your country was fine and not amidst economic collapse and you left for a better life, thats completely understandable.
Seeing this video, I might do the same and leave like the many doctors who left in the countries time of need but I am not in that situation so i wouldnt know.
Wonder what happened in Lebanon for it to come to this? Looks like... someone aided some warlords in a war. But who would do such a thing then never acknowledge it and close the door behind them? Hmmmm
Too much islam...
@@johnduddy2359 Lebanon’s 2nd largest religion is Christianity with Islam being the largest at 56% of the population and the remaining 44% are Christian’s.
If your looking at the US then you would be very much incorrect about that. A large part of Lebanon’s Muslim population supports the Hezbollah political group which is backed by Iran, whose objective is to gain proxy control to countries as close to Israel as possible with the eventual goal of destroying Israel, as you can imagine, not everyone is okay with that and there you have a civil conflict. Lebanon is also incredibly corrupt, from the traffic police running cash schemes on motorists all the way to top level government officials benefiting and supporting local militias, complacency in transnational drug smuggling, and just flat out cutting themselves checks from the country’s check books.
Infighting, corruption, incompetence.
For instance, weed was illegal but extremely common in Lebanon until recently. Most of the growers belonged to local militias that were effectively above the law as they fought their own wars and ran their own turf. These guys WANTED TO KEEP WEED ILLEGAL so that they could maintain their near monopoly and charge inflated prices.
Lebanon's largest trading partners included Syria and Iran, and it is US/EU sanctions on Lebanese politicians, Syria and Iran that has heavily contributed to Lebanon's economic woes. In addition to the corrupt elite with Western bank accounts and residences in the US, France, etc siphoning money overseas. Western sanctions also prevent Lebanon from even buying Iranian oil, so then Hezbollah has to import them into Syrian ports and then drive them into Lebanon via trucks but it's not enough for the whole country.
Lebanon hosts the largest refugee population by percentage and capita in the world. Palestinian refugees displaced by ethnic cleansing by lsraeI in the 20th century, numbering up to 500,000 in Lebanon. Iraqis, numbering around 50,000. Syrians, numbering around 1.5 million. So over 2-million of Lebanon's 7-million population is refugees, which is around 1/3 of the population.
I wonder why people would want to have children - all the problems besetting the world have each year got worse and worse and show no signs of any improvement whatsoever. Lebanon, having been beset by war for years, has also been beset by bad and corrupt governments that have neglected the needs of their people and not taken action to avoid tragedies like the port explosion in Beirut last year which killed over 200 people but was so, so, easily avoidable.
Heart breaking
God bless Lebanon
Truly dreadful
This is what corruption does to the society.
At least the out going health minister looked lovely in his finery and gold watch and in the event he or family get sick are dealt with in private facilities. That's reassuring. What an absolute fkn disgrace. Where is the global support for Lebanon.? Where are Lebanon's brothers? This is sickening.
This is rough.
Minister with a Patek Phillipe watch...that says alot...
Good Job Vice
@VICEnews we want to help the lady with the pacemaker issue how do we help please?
Ce qu est devenu ce pays et la souffrance des gens est abominable
More nurses? I will not advise that. Lebanon has a very poor record of accepting foreigners.
This is sad they dont have basic needs as basic healthcare or medications this break my heart the gov is rich and their people are dying from lack of medicine and basic goods .
I have to stop watching this because I just start crying like non stop. I'm sad
As Arabic, I feel shame . Hope the best for you guys
This is what does rampant corruption do to a country.may U.N provide or aid to the Lebanese folks.
U.N. only intervenes when there is something to take like precious metals, jewels, oil, etc. They otherwise could care less
@A B I'm happy to see you can use big boy words now
Look at your neighbour to the south and ask yourself how she got to be so prosperous and then look into yourself and ask where you went so horribly wrong.
The answer is clear. The neighbour in the south doesn’t have to worry about Muslims who constantly try to make it iran 2.0, didn’t have palestinians starting a civil war, wasn’t occupied by Syria. Lebanon was extremely prosperous in the early 70s till the Palestinians started the civil war which lead to corrupt politics and groups coming into power and since then it’s been down hill. The fault is not really on the Lebanese people. There were outside forces which created a snowball effect which can’t be stopped
@@louiloui4707 Who are the neighbours in the South we are talking about here?
I bet 1000$ you can't find it on a map
@@user-hh2is9kg9j israel
Lebanon's neighbors in the south are a bunch of land-grabbing thieves that are being subsidized and provided for courtesy of the American taxpayer.
The wages of sin...
Remember this America 🇺🇸 when u think our country sucks. It Can be way worse
Now it's December 2022 and the medical in Lebanon is now good and now there's a lot of medicine
They need medicine, help these people, if you're rich, donate.
this is gonna be the state of affairs here in the US as well.
The minister pointed out that they're hoarding and nit distributing
Rich country, poor people, oh god, who made them worse?
El capitalismo
@@HoussamNekkaa leave Lebanon to those of us that know a thing about Lebanon.
Most of the infrastructure and hirer education was built by the French colonial government and later some US investors. Year after year, a little more of it falls apart due to corruption, incompetence, and infighting. Year after year, people borrow or scam to maintain their lifestyles.
For instance, it's common practice in Lebanon to lure in immigrants with promises of pay they can't keep. Once in country they take the "kafala's" passport and don't pay them, or lock them up, or beat them, or use them as sex slaves.
Lebanon is the largest abuser per capita of prescription meds. IDK what effect that had on the hospital in the video.
The railroads were abandoned during the civil war and were never rebuilt. But there's still a railroad department that draws a budget.
Large fires due to the total lack of occupational safety is common.
State subsidized gasoline which was how many Lebanese could afford driving. Much of said gasoline wasn't sold in Lebanon, which was fraud. Much of the gasoline was smuggled into Syria for money. Much of the subsidy money was pinched. Suddenly the state runs out of money and the gas stations run out of gas.
The list goes on. And on. And on.
Certified Gold!!!!!
How does a middle eastern country run out of oil?
Lebanon didn't have much oil, and in the oil states the revenue from those enterprises doesn't effect common people much. Lebanon has exported limestone, natural gas, salt, and agricultural goods and they imported modern manufactured goods.
It comes down to systemic incompetence, corruption, and infighting. There's only a couple dozen major issues.
Corrupt politicians! Lebanon is in need of donations
That will get stolen?
Hamad Hassan hasnt been minister of health for nearly a month
i come from east africa but OMG this is so awful. and one of the leaders is a billionaire..i feel as angry as the citizens!!!!!!

2025 about to enter the chat. Enjoy what we still can enjoy until then.
No
global universal healthcare, NOW
Don't be silly. You know reality of that situation means exporting western doctors to the turdworld (more than we do already). Even then turdworld medicine will suffer from broke patients, substance abuse, corruption, politicization, and lack of qualified personnel.
i tried last year to donate to a NGO which was ment to specificaly support the medical system. as far as i know the donation never went were it was supposed to.
without the international community finaly getting real support programms going, there won't be any change.
when you look at how ressources are still funneld out of the country, while it's people wither away, it leaves you speechless...and tbh. pretty angry at the industrialized world.
all islamic ngo are fraud
God help them 🙏 😪 These kind people don't deserve this. Shame on their government.
These people as you call them made laws that say Palestinians can't be doctors engineers or nurses. They deserve it. Free Palestine
Keep strong. I feel worse for the health minister whi was foing his best and regime change led to him being replaced. I never understood why when regimes change that so many ministers do too. They have a wealth of experience that's being wasted
As a human race, we could end this by not wasting money on weapons of war and feed the world. Humanity is damned 👿🤢🙏🏻
Glimpse of everywhere post-climate catastrophe

to you muslim countries...it is the women that keeps us going...think about that.
Lebanon is a christian country
Clearly you don't know anything about Lebanon
A lot of those women weren't wearing hijabs, they're probably indigenous Christians or non-observing Muslims.
what do you mean by that?
😔😔😔
You reap what you sow.
So then please explain what lebanon sowed
Lebanon is only Christian country in middle east and Asia.
@@brucepedersen4032 Lebenon is 90% Muslim, and now even more so with the influx of Syrian Refugees. So calling it the only Christian country is a joke, furthermore, Lebanon is more like a city in Syria than that of a country.
@@anthonyoneal8376 thanks A. Corrected
@@anthonyoneal8376 it’s not 90% Muslims 🤦♂️. Idk where u got that but that’s complete garbage. Almost half of the population is Christian
How could you travel to Lebanon bro? Are u Russian?
No way can the hospital 🏥 close government around would will have to chip in it’s ridiculous and terrible 😞 at the same time
The Lebanese government needs to help the sick
The government is the problem. Helping the sick is the last thing they will do
The Lebanese government is defunct
