Facts First.
This is such a disaster, good the world tries to help as much as they can, including Apple.
Let's hope Lebanon will get better after all the misery they had to endure.
You know as much as anybody, which right now is nothing.

Speaking of ineffective governments who ignore science-based recommendations resulting in catastrophic and unnecessary loss of life...
I am thankful for anyone who is willing to step in and help in these trying times.
