@LebISF can you please allow us to transport the windows and doors from a carpentry shop in Sidon to Beirut? They are for 2 homes that have been destroyed in the Aug 4 blast. We’ve been waiting for a week due to the lockdown there. #beirutexplosion

This is absolutely unacceptable behavior from a reputable cause-based crowdfunding platform.. I would have expected that they had mechanisms to ensure much faster responses for DISASTER RELIEF. Please retweet so that we can hopefully get the attention of someone that works there!

Dear twitter community I NEED YOUR HELP, I have $36,000 in relief funds for Beirut stuck in my @gofundme account in the USA pending account verification for withdrawal. They said they need 3-4 business days to get back to me. I’m assuming they don’t work weekends...

A chilling 1987 article written by Nora Boustani from the @latimes about life in Beirut during the country’s first major currency devaluation. 33 years ago, as if today. Will history repeat itself ? #رياض_سلامة #لبنان__ينتفض #lollar #LebanonProtests

Growing a business that's both socially responsible and bankable at the same time is harder than it sounds! May the universe teach me how. #entrepreneurship #consciouscapitalism

1000 years ago Ibn al-Haytham immigrated from #Basra to #Cairo (at the invitation of Egypt’s Caliph). There he laid the foundations of modern #telecom. Today he’d need a visa, a sponsor, series A funding and would probably not be welcomed by anyone in government 😪😪😪

We need real budgets and educational programs for science and research across the Arab world. A ship made of plastic bottles is not going to cut it. #fundthegoldenage #إبتكر_مستقبلك

@nntaleb if people of high intelligence are ethical that does not mean non-ethical people are necessarily less intelligent .
