Children and fuel

More problems today as Israel threatens to bomb Beirut. While playing with the kids planes are flying over and again the children are frightened to death: they’re bombing.

Some of them start talking emotionally about what they have seen and heard while fleeing to Beirut or while still at their homes. It is shocking to hear such young kids relating such horrible stories.

Due to the fuel and diesel shortage the electricity is cut off most of the day and the generators cannot cope with those long hours because the engines get overheated. So this makes that very often the PC cannot be opened or the internet is not working. I will try later on to upload some pictures. One picture, taken today is of cars queuing up. When we passed by this afternoon there clearly was a problem. People were shouting and fighting. It is pretty much sure now that the fuel stations will not be refilled because there’s no import of fuel. Some gas station owners do have fuel left but wait till prices increase.

The other picture is of our children today while drawing at the schoolyard. These are the youngest one, age group 4 – 9. We promised to bring them a small surprise tomorrow for the nicest drawing. We, of course will bring some candy for each child as they all did their best.
