Robbed

A senior citizen who regularily comes to Ayadina was attacked and robbed in plain daylight in Beirut. The old woman wore some gold bracelets and she was beaten up and only remembers that she awoke at the hospital. Apparently passers-by must have found her and brought her to the hospital. This is outrageous! The lady, let us call her Amine, lives alone and has no income she wanders from one charity organization to another and eats there. You may ask: why then, if she’s poor, does she wear gold bracelets? In the oriental - let’s say Islamic - culture, these bracelets are offen offered at marriage and are a kind of investment for women. This is all she has!
