At the time of the disaster, Jad shared an old black and white photo of himself with his aunt in her Beirut apartment and said she was being treated in hospital and that her place had been “badly” destroyed.

‘That influenced me personally. I should have been in Lebanon now and knowing that the explosion was in the area I am in has shaken me more, ”Jad wrote on Instagram at the time.

“I go to the gym, in cafes, hairdressers and restaurants.”

He added, “My aunt is injured in the hospital. Badly damaged your home. My friends’ homes and businesses were damaged. It kills me not to be able to go there to help those in need. ‚

“How much can a country suffer and deal with? About the revolution, the bad economic situation, poverty and the coronavirus. ‚

Then he said his “heart and prayers” went out to all concerned.

‘Stand firm. I love you, ”wrote Jad.

The explosion could be felt as far as Turkey, Syria, Israel and Palestine, killing more than 200 people and injuring more than 6,000.

A state of emergency broke out in the city after the devastation and protests erupted in response to government failures that led to the explosion.

The explosion was caused by nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate that had not been properly stored in the port for years.

Australian actor Rob Shehadie also wrote an emotional and moving piece in August after the explosion.

“Lebanon, which I know and love, is suffering more than ever,” wrote the Fat Pizza star in The Daily Telegraph.

Rob, who is of Lebanese descent, said he was devastated to see his mother cry when she heard of the explosion.

The TV star, who is married to Lleyton Hewitt’s sister Jaslyn, 37, said the Lebanese are “resilient”.

“It must be said that this suffering binds and defines the Lebanese people and enables them to rise again and again,” said Rob.

He concluded by saying that he was certain that Beirut would rise from the rubble again.
