In light of Lebanon’s worsening security crisis, the Association of Families of the Beirut Port Explosion Victims has canceled its planned event to mark the 50th month since the devastating blast.
The decision, which was made amid intensifying violence, underscores the deepening pain and frustration of families still seeking justice.
In a heartfelt statement, the families expressed their sorrow, lamenting that the ongoing conflict has only deepened their wounds.
“As Lebanon faces another tragic chapter, we find ourselves reliving the grief that has never fully healed,” they said, recalling the explosion that claimed hundreds of lives and left Beirut in ruins.
The families did not hold back in their criticism of the state, condemning its failure to provide basic security. “This latest aggression highlights the state’s inability to protect its people,” they declared, drawing a sharp comparison between the devastation unfolding today and the catastrophe at the Beirut Port.
Despite canceling the public commemoration, the families emphasized their unwavering commitment to seeking accountability and calling for justice, not only for their loved ones, but also for all those suffering due to the current violence.
“We stand in solidarity with all who are affected and demand a Lebanon where security and dignity are upheld for all.”
They vowed to continue their fight for accountability, expressed their determination to see justice served, and called for a Lebanon where the safety and dignity of its people are guaranteed.
