A Kenyan woman is left alone in Lebanon
The girl identified as Esther, whose video has gone viral, explained that she woke up and found herself alone in the house after her boss and his family fled Beirut.
In the video clip, the woman who looked confused was in tears as she said that she was very hurt to know that her boss did not care about her safety as she had no information about where they were planning to run to.
Esther tearfully said that she did not have the strength to communicate with her employer as she was trying to accept that she had been betrayed.
“I haven't called you. I wanted to then I saw your invitation to join TikTok live. I don't even have the strength to call them,” he said with tears in his eyes.
“But should I call them? They weren't even worried about my safety,” he added emotionally.
He revealed that his boss had previously assured him that he was safe in Beirut, then escaped a few days later.
“They didn't care about my life,” he added.

Are Kenyans in Lebanon being deported?
A few days ago, Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged Kenyans living in war-torn Lebanon to register for immediate evacuation.
Despite repeated reminders, the government expressed its disappointment that many have not yet taken advantage of this important program to ensure their safety, while the state of anxiety continues in the country.
In its statement released on October 1, the government noted that it has succeeded in eliminating two groups and is still committed to continuing those efforts until all citizens are safe.
