In light of the recent devastations that occurred over the last few days in Lebanon, Middle Eastern celebrities and influencers are standing up to spread awareness.<\/p>\n

One such individual who has broken through the noise is Dubai-based Lebanese influencer and entrepreneur, Karen Wazen.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram her concern for her homeland, Wazen shared her distress to her 8.1 million followers, calling out the injustice and weight of the situation.<\/p>\n

“From the moment we were born, war has been a reality.” She began her message. “Being Lebanese means distinguishing the sounds of an explosion, from the roar of fighter jets, the crackle of fireworks, and the breaking of sound barriers.”<\/p>\n

Adding further to her ache on the displacement and human rights issue the people of Lebanon have been facing she said, “We are tired, we are angry.\u201d<\/p>\n

As casualties amount to 492, and over 1,500 injured citizens, as reported by Al Jazeera<\/em><\/a>, she reflected on the livelihood and normalisation of the conflict. “Do not normalise the Lebanese’ suffering. Despite our strength, we are not okay, and should not be okay,” she noted.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Karen Wazen has spoken her truth about the devastations that hit South Of Lebanon.<\/p>\n

A while back, she shared her thoughts on another occasion that hit Lebanon on the first week of August.<\/p>\n

Amidst her family vacation to her home country, she reflected on the damaging impact and the \u201cugly situation\u201d they faced.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo we leave? We have children, is it wiser to leave? What if we get stuck there? What if there is a war? Will my children get traumatised and not want to go back to Lebanon?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As she further delved into the catastrophe, her focus diverted towards her family and the people of Lebanon. \u201cI cried for my family, I cried for the ones in Lebanon who have had to deal with so much trauma, I cried hoping that I will be able to return soon, I cried thinking of all the children of war.\u201d<\/p>\n

She concluded her message by iterating, \u201cWith everything that the world has been able to cancel, how are wars still a thing in 2024?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42726,"featured_media":56368,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35,5023,4025],"yoast_head":"\nKaren Wazen Speaks Out For Lebanon Amid
