  1. Remove sanctions if you want to help financially, donations wont help because they are filtered by govt sanctions.

    1. Im so sick of western goverments bankrupting nations that they dont like. Its disgusting and why we need to crush these goverments.

    1. The Fun Fact Guy my all of the family of my moms side lives in Lebanon. My mom and my came to Canada in 1978 during the civil war in Lebanon, they were the only ones that’s made it in Canada without getting caught. The rest of the family of my mom stayed in Lebanon and they are not allowed to get out of the country. I know live in Canada, Quebec. Don’t act like you know the story of my life

    2. @temp if it rlly did happen which i doubt it did why are you posting it on a youtube comment section for likes

    1. That stings doesn’t it. The Canadian government would give a lot more but we just spents billions trying to get through covid so I can’t blame them considering we need to start serious cuts to spending. That won’t stop me from donating and I think Canadians as citizens will donate much more.

  2. Poland wishes Lebanon all the best! We sent Polish doctors and firefighters there 🇵🇱❤️🇱🇧

  3. And there will be another 5000 canadians wanting to get back asap, just like the last time something blew up, over there!

  4. Where’s Amazon, Facebook…Google and China?…where is that money?…This may just be the end of Lebanon. A new country may rise eventually… I don’t see Lebanon coming back. The cost of cleanup alone is going to be insane… only Amazon Facebook and Google have money to throw away.

    1. But why tho? Their government is well-known for being corrupted, all the donation won’t go to the citizen anyway.

  5. We can give Israel billions. But only 5 million? Not hating on Israel neither. I just hope both nations could solve issues.

    1. We are launching attacks sometimes but nobody ever realized that we were at war until now or something

  6. Bagas adi p. Dari indonesia, saya sangat sedih dengan kejadian di negara lebanon ini. Semoga bisa cepat membaik lagi dan normal kembali amin.🤲🏼🙏🏼

  7. I’m Rafael Kevin from Indonesia. I feel sorry for this incident, I hope that the families who have been left behind are given fortitude, and that those who are injured, are given the strength to rise again. Amen

  8. Isn’t the federal government ashamed to give such a silly amount what a joke , the Lebanese tell them to stick it

    1. yea 5 million is alout i respect canada i live in canada rn but only 5 million do u know how much money they have still happy to see them helping lebanon

  9. Ask india for more money , india will definitely help lebnan , Iran and lebnan are both india favourite

    1. fax india is rich theres like billions of ppl in india and there is alout of muslims so idk maybe india will feel bad and give some money cuz beiruit needs 3 billion to repair rn
