Beirut girl's viral video captures the chaos in Lebanon during Israel strikes
I opened the video and I saw it.
I was like what? What?
And that was the time when I said I really wanted to hold her.
And I I called her back. Are you okay?
She's like yes. Are you injured? No.
Everything's fine. Yes. She's traumatized. Yes.
But she will get over it.
We will work on it together.
She will get over it.
And same thing for my kids for my for my younger boys they will get over it as well and we will move on.
