Raging flames can be seen eating up everything in their way in frightening scenes. Houses were evacuated, forests and green spaces were burned down, and people were left with no where to go.

And because Arabs should always stick together, acclaimed singer Sherine Abdel Wahab took to Twitter to express her sadness over the situation in Lebanon and her support for the victims. She also expressed readiness to organize a concert, with all profit going straight to the families and individuals affected by the fires.

قلبي يحترق على وطننا الغالي #لبنان، لكن في مثل هذه المواقف، الكلام ليس كافياً. أنا على أتم الاستعداد لإقامة حفل يكون كل العائد منه مخصص للمتضررين من الحريق، وأناشد دولة رئيس الوزراء سعد رفيق الحريري أن تكون تحت رعاية سيادته 🇱🇧

What a beautiful gesture by Sherine!

We wish Lebanon and Lebanese people the absolute best, and may God protect all Arab countries.
