Beirut Blast Aug 4, 2020: “Will I see my family again?”

CPS interviewed Chamseddine family affected by Beirut Blast that occurred on Aug 4, 2020. Carole Chamseddine, mother of 2 kids: Andrew and Matheo, talks about the first minutes of the explosion and the impact it had on her children and their behaviour, from the time of the catastrophe till today. She explains how they kept her company all the time and how her son kept carrying his backpack to flee if a similar explosion takes place again. What happened was so difficult and Carole tries her best to help her traumatised kids overcome the blast and overcome the fear. “We don’t want to die far from you” is what the kids keep on telling their mother. And she thinks, in Lebanon, there is no safety. During the blast, Tarek, the father, was concerned: “Will I see my family again?”
