Model Bella Hadid joins the list of celebrities who have donated to Beirut following this week’s deadly explosion that has claimed the lives of more than 150 people and caused widespread destruction in Lebanon’s capital.
Writing on her Instagram page, Hadid expressed her sadness over the incident. She posted a viral video of an older Lebanese woman playing the piano amidst destruction and rubble in her home, along with the message, “My eyes and heart are crying for you Lebanon… I am sorry you have to endure this kind of disaster my brothers and sisters… I will be sending donations to the Lebanese Red Cross, as well as ALL of the smaller organisations in Beirut.”
The model, whose father is real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, also mentioned the numerous issues facing Lebanon, including political unrest, an economic crisis and the spread of the Covid-19.
Hadid’s list of chosen organisations include Impact Lebanon, Bank to School and Bassma. “Helping from within, through these smaller organisations can help pin point what necessities are most needed and where they can be sent,” she wrote.
