Saddest Times

People might not admit it but these days are the saddest times of the year here in UAE. With roughly 10 to 15% of the almost 3-million population are expatriates from Lebanon and Syria, everyone can feel the tension that these people are going through.

With emails of pictures and facts being forwarded to lots of people, it is difficult to be indifferent. It just moves you to the core. Most of those wounded or killed are children.

It is just bloody ruthless - this war. I hope it will end soon. I hope the heartaches will be mended although that is an impossibility. I hope they will find reason to be merciful. It is a totally devastating scene, the children, the dead, the wounded.
