Lebanon - with Linda Tamim
This week, we are learning about what life is like in Lebanon at the moment from freelance journalist Linda Tamim. Linda is a radio broadcaster at Virgin Radio International in Lebanon and worked on a podcast DocuSeries called ‘Beirut Blast’, which shed light on the cause, effect, and aftermath of this devastating event in August 2020.
Linda takes us through the economic crisis in Lebanon, which has seen their currency fall by 90% in 2 years, the impacts of the Beirut Blast, how COVID-19 has played a role, the different religious actors in politics and society, the refugee influx and many, many other layers that have resulted in Lebanon reaching boiling point today.
Linda also shares a number of insightful resources on what Australians, especially those in the Lebanese diaspora, can do to help.
