Being Undocumented in Lebanon

I recently read an article about the Corona Virus in Lebanon and how it’s being handled. Quite frankly it was tough to read, whilst reading through it it wasn’t hard to be able to see that the government is struggling to figure out what they need to do to combat the virus.

As nerves continue to rise in Lebanon the hospitals are now turning away undocumented people of Lebanon with no test at all, or requesting a ridiculous price for the test. The effect of this is leaving many people afraid and untested, possibly fearful for their lives. In some cases this isn’t even their fault, as an awful practice in Lebanon is for abusive migrant employers to take their employee’s documents when they begin work to discourage them from leaving their post. It’s a sad, but interesting situation happening in Lebanon.

All of the information presented was given by Aljazeera, I’m not claiming any as my own simply analyzing and discussing it.
