Lebanese Mark, who lives in Kuwait, says he is stuck in Beirut. He explains: “Looks like I am stuck in Beirut. The airport is closed and doesn’t look like its going to open anytime soon if anything it looks like there will be a war with hezbollah. Now I am going to try and leave Lebanon through Syria.”

    Mark I know the Kuwait govt is organising air lifts. Do you know if it’s just for Kuwaitis or could they bring you too? My family are in East Beirut and I’m praying for their safety. My friend’s daughter is at LAU and lots of exams and concerts have been cancelled. It’s all so sad.
    I hope you get back safe and sound.
