AUB Students Rally to Support Staff Member During Ongoing War
An anonymous post on the student-run page AUB Crushes has sparked a call for urgent aid to a staff member stuck in Beirut’s southern suburb. Shared amid escalating Israeli airstrikes, the message highlights the human cost of the war on people trying to make a living.
The anonymous post describes an AUB staff janitor still residing in Dahye with her children, commuting daily to and from work despite the dangers. Students are stepping in to help her pay rent for an unfurnished apartment near the university, urging donations for a total of $705, including rent, WiFi, and electricity.
Those who wish to donate can reach out to AUB student Yasmine El Tinawi via Instagram. As the situation continues to unfold, initiatives like this highlight the importance of community support. With approximately 14% of the population displaced, every act of solidarity can help families and individuals meet urgent needs and feel less alone in these challenging times.
