The tragic situation of Fady Ibrahim, a distinguished Lebanese actor, sparked widespread outrage. Having illuminated numerous Lebanese, Egyptian and Syrian television series with his talent, he now finds himself in a critical situation, alarmingly illustrating his abandonment by his own country. The recent amputation of one of his lower limbs, a direct consequence of diabetes-related complications, highlights the urgency and severity of his health condition due to the lack of adequate treatment because of financial constraints. In this difficult context, his family, fans and the Lebanese Actors’ Association are rallying to issue a call for help, hoping for a generous and widespread response. This initiative reflects a reality often seen in Lebanon, where private efforts and community actions provide vital support in critical situations like that of Fady Ibrahim. The latest news suggests that the Ministry of Health offered to cover all hospitalization fees. But what next? And how will this actor, whose leg was amputated and who is still relatively young at 68, manage to work? Fady Ibrahim’s plight raises serious questions about support and care for artists in challenging circumstances.
