- Lebanon is a country teetering on the brink of collapse. The optimism of the revolution in 2019 has now almost totally dissipated and the economy is in freefall.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
The currency is plunging, bringing with it hyper-inflation. Last year's massive explosion in Beirut's port, which killed 200 and injured thousands more, making a bad situation even worse.
Many young people are now choosing to leave, including hundreds of doctors and nurses, who form the backbone of the country's overstretched hospitals.
Warning: Some viewers may find some of the details in this report distressing.

This is what corruption can do to a country... and why we can't accept it no matter where we live in the world.
Naaaa
This is the result of socialism
Corruption is just a symptom
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 Yep, all that capitalism has to do, is legalizing corruption, so there is no corruption, you can LOBBY your senators legally. lol
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 How to say you have single digit IQ without actually saying it:
This is not only about corruption. Lebanon was finished the day it let Hezbollah refugees in.

You must be either Zionist or radical Sunni
I applaud every news outlet which is reporting on Lebanon, especially after the blast of the port. Scarcely happens these days. Please stay close and follow up at a regular basis what happend since and what the international community has done to help.
Stay strong Lebanon - you are not forgotten.
I know you mean to be positive upbeat but the truth where i was born always been Weak corrupt polluted. Too little too late 1 mass starvation 2 outside invasion 3 to lead to a new beginning
whenever the U.S wants to give you "democracy" - RUN
Susanne but why did your country so much nitrogen dioxide when your country does not produce even sugar. Seems to me it was meant to make explosives. You have only yourself and your government to blame.
@@richardv9648 Next time I feel the urge to chat with an idiot, I would let you know.
Totally. With pain, fear, disease, violence, corruption, etc. flowing/creeping into Lebanon, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what is going to happen next. Fortunately/Unfortunately most billionaires/millionaires in Lebanon have found/figured it out a long time ago & have mostly either left or turned into oligarchs/warlords.
May the deaths & sufferings of the innocents be limited 🙏
"In Beirut I found myself, & then I lost myself". From many proud Lebanese, this hits hard!
Lebanon can be either a.) A prosperous state. or b.) An Iranian Shiite proxy via Hezbollah. You can't have both... I really hope for the sake of the children in the ME they'll choose option a.
@@rimshot6444 any recomendations on how to get rid of a militia after years of protesting and doing all that we have done ?
@@sharbel6357 Not any nice recommendations I'm afraid, eventually, it won't be enough to protest, some real & hard actions will be required, you'll need to disarm & dismantle Hezbollah, if you'll decide to assimilate them into the Lebanese army they'll take over everything... maybe an international coalition will be willing to assist...
@@rimshot6444 we have no chance against them our army is too weak and with open boarders between us and syria i believe anything against hizbollah here in lebanon will lead his allies in syria to invade and fight with them.
@@sharbel6357 your army is not weak, it simply has no willingness to defend its own people from the enemy within, no country in the world will help Lebanon unless Lebanon tries to help itself, you cannot expect US, British or French soldiers to do the liberation job for you.
I am Lebanese, And I really miss my country but I had to leave because of the corrupted government who can't secure me a good future. I hope one day Lebanon rises again so I can come back to what I call home.
You left to which country?
After this explosion by zionists and their puppets or who ever did it i am very sad to see a beutifull and interesting country in such mess and ruines may Allah help its people and bless this part of shaam, prayers from pakistan .
@@rimshot6444 I would never leave anything to those assholes, my family is still in Lebanon and I do visit when I can, I will and forever be Lebanese it is in my blood, but I am sick of the Lebanese people who don't want to commit a change towards the better. It seems like they are happy following their masters and they like living like this. Unfortunately, we live in a country where people are brainwashed by political parties and religion. As for me I will never change my culture and habits for the country I live in because I know being Lebanese is worth more than thousands of cultures and nationalities.

This is how it all happened in Zimbabwe… so sad to see history repeat itself…
Beirut, lebanon's problem not just economically, its 1 of the most complicated in modern history.just have a look at their politic conflicts all these while, absolutely everything, everything & everyone be exhausted.
happening in USA right now, Europe, Africa, South America
Yup, and as Zimbabwe showed, this is just the beginning. Fortunately the people of Zimbabwe resisted going into civil war and persevered. Unfortunately for Lebanon I feel they will fall into that trap of civil war and within weeks foreign entities are claiming their piece of the pie and the country collapses into war. They must find a way to resist that doesn't plunge them into war. Their position on the map is too volatile for war.

Being an Aussie with Lebanese heritage, this is fairly heartbreaking to see. I hope they can get through this and that the rest of the world comes to help them get out of this situation.
Before the rest of the world can help, there has to be a government in place that is not entirely corrupt or else the Aid will be going into a bottomless PIT. that will only fuel more corruption, leaving nothing for the poor , suffering Lebanese people.
After serious long term corruption in Lebanon by government officials the fall of the country was inevitable and the common people are the one who are suffering the most. It's so devastating that I have nothing else to say but to pray for the betterment of everyone in Lebanon. I hope the best of days will come for this country.

It's hard to put in words how I feel about what is currently going on in Lebanon and being naïve to the history that got them here. Words like anger, hopelessness, sadness, and so forth seem to not be enough. I can only imagine things getting way worse before they get better.
Oh wait until Iran will try to pull their hands into you're country while my country (Israel) will probably have to stop it and if it needs by force... Well here we go for another round of conflict, Thanks to you're terrorist cell in ur government "Hezbollah" which are pretty much puppets of Iran.
So sorry for Lebanon, such a beautiful country with amazing people. Hope it will recover soon

What about your fellow citizens and relatives who cares for them?. Running away doesn’t help

@@thoker7 its difficult you cant blame someone for wanting to improve their life chances especially when they have the skills to do so but leaving the country that raised that gave them those skills especially when it is in dire straits is something close to betrayal. it would be best if this would be sorted out internationally so that basic services could be provided and administered through the un so this sort of burden was not left to single countries and the choices of their citizens

Such heartbreaking times
All the man made disasters combined towards collapse, this is beyond sad.it just hopeless.
This is heartbreaking. I wish the good Lebanese people well, I hope you make it through. Love
Beirut is when I have always felt alive ... hopefully we will hit rock bottom to rise up again . I am 46 .... I hope I will see my country back again before I die .... This is my only hope
Such a beautiful country, I hope Beirut and its people rises up and rebuilds the country and put proper competent people to run the government
We will feel there pain soon enough when they collapse the rest of the world will feel it. Be safe out there everyone.

I was wondering what's happening in Lebanon since the explosion. We didn't hear or see about those people. I feel so sad for them when I see all this. I hope better days will come soon for them.
The missmanagemen of one government payed by the people. How cruel.
was there once, what a nice country, so sad.
Help each other in whatever way u can , be there for each other as moral support , some times that’s enough to keep someone’s motivation and moral up
MY HEART GOES TO THE LEBANESE.
Crazy how in this same decade Lebanon reached the top and fell right to the bottom...
The remnants are there Lebanon looks more developed than all of the Middle East and now? Fell back to the bottom of the ladder.
So, so sad! Really difficult to watch :,(
I am feeling this in my country everyday,
Lucky for those that are living in wealthier countries, is as if we are hopping for them to help us here, we are struggling but than again every country is struggling with this situation only that some are feeling a lot more struggle than others and thats a shame if we are not capable of helping one another we cannot move forward as a civilization.

the country is being drained from skills and what will remain is old people and people who belong to political parties
lebanon is doomed
Lebanon is just showing how misconduct could destroy an entire country. For years they kept importing from developed countries instead of developing countries because of political corruption and ''higher quality'' etc so now they are paying the price. There is a very similar problem in other Arabic countries as well that oil money is wasted on arms, extremely expensive products, ridiculous construction projects which wouldn't benefit ordinary people at all etc!! But even if they have been importing billions of dollars worth products from those developed countries Lebanon got ditched when they needed help the most and ''aid money'' put behind some reform conditions. Because they never had strong relations with developing countries they can't get help from there neither. Their only significant trade partners expect EU, US and China is Turkey with 6.88% and Egypt with 2.55%. Egypt experiences food insecurity itself and imports almost half of their food so they are no help. While Turkey is a large food exporter country and could provide everything Lebanon needs but they wouldn't do that for literally worthless Lebanese pound while they are experiencing their own currency crisis even if it isn't this bad!! So Lebanon has no choice, no solution expect literally selling their own lands so don't get surprised at all if they sell their ports etc to a foreign country, in fact there are already some circling like vultures...
