Lebanon Current situation//holliday Lebanon
Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 10:05 AM UTC
My appeal goes to anyone who lives in Lebanon.
First of all, sorry to hear about the fighting. I hope none is hurt and all are safe.
But how is the situation in common. Do you think this thing will blow over?

I travelling to Beirut in mid june, and hope that things have quiet down by then.
but to get an indicator on how things are I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions:
Is the airport open at this time(I heard it was closed)?
does the infra structure work?
are the busses driving?
are people going to work?
that kind of things....

any reply would be preciated.

thanks
Jonas

The airport is still closed.
Things are not good, 26 people got killed in fighting yesterday alone.
No-one can predict whether things will have calmed down by June or whether this country will be in all out civil war by then. So you'll jist have to wait and see - and do err on the side of caution : In peaceful times Lebanon is a great country to visit, but you don't want to get stuck in a civil war zone.
