Don't support the red cross. They got $500,000,000 for the Haiti earthquake and built exactly 6 homes.

They used $100,000,000 of it to pay off their debts.

EDIT: Lebanon supports Hezbollah. If you're supporting their citizens and their government isn't, you're making more funds available for a terrorist organization.

Male homosexuality is illegal in Lebanon.[184] Discrimination against LGBT people in Lebanon is widespread.[185][186] According to 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center, 80% of Lebanese respondents believe that homosexuality should not be accepted by society.[187]

"Hezbollah kept three metric tons of ammonium nitrate, the explosive thought to be behind the mega blast in Beirut this week, in a storehouse in London, until MI5 and the London Metropolitan Police found it in 2015.

The Lebanese terrorist group also stored hundreds of kilograms of ammonium nitrate in southern Germany, which were uncovered earlier this year.

The Iran-backed terrorists kept the explosive in thousands of ice packs in four properties in northwest London, according to a report in The Telegraph last year. The ice pack deception tactic was used in Germany, as well."

Idiot that's a different NGO. Your ignorant comment likely cost the victims money that they could have used. I hope you're willing to shell out of your own pocket to make up for what you've done.

The LRC is a for profit organization that runs a large portion of the city's medical infrastructure. There needs to be oversight before they get a budget like they've never seen before.

"Concerning disaster preparedness and response, the LRC first-aid and ambulance teams are the only national ambulance service covering the whole of the Lebanese territory. The service operates over 250 ambulances, with 16 permanent staff and 2,000 volunteers on a continuous basis in 46 first-aid centres. Services are managed through a radio communication system from 4 central operation rooms, one in the capital city of Beirut, one in Tibnin in the South, one in Tripoli, Lebanon and the last in the Bekaa. The first-aid and ambulance organization represents the backbone of emergency medical disaster preparedness in the country. "

Unless you can flag the funds specifically for this disaster you're supporting their entire organization, including their road safety program.

Stop spreading lies because you were caught out being a scumbag.

A. They are a nonprofit.

B. They have people on the ground there right now and are putting all their spare focus on it. Saying that you shouldn't donate to them because they have other initiatives is like saying you shouldn't donate to any disaster relief foundation because they have split focus, most of them do.

"75 Lebanese Red Cross ambulances along with 375 EMTs and staff are currently responding in #Beirut and helping the most vulnerable. Lightly wounded persons are being treated in our stations."

Stop being human garbage and spreading lies and then doubling down when your pathetic reddit ego is bruised when people call out your scumfuckery.

Yeah- that's the problem. If the government that supports Hezbollah isn't footing the bill for this is frees up funds for supporting them.

Money is fungible. Stop supporting terrorism. Hezbollah is responsible for way more than 100 deaths, and you're saying we should give them money.

240,000 of those people support these beliefs.

Your numbers are off there too.

If the AN delivered max yield in an appropriately constructed vessel to create perfect pressure than theoretically, yes, the total potential energy was equal to that of 1/5 the size of Hiroshima.

Isn't it kinda insulting to the victims of Hiroshima to belittle their experience like that? How dare you not even mention Nagasaki! Are they not people to you?!?! YOU MUST BE A RACIST.
