is entering a third mass exodus wave of immigration<\/a> as over 300,000 people are leaving Lebanon.<\/p>\n The report included alarming numbers.<\/p>\n
– Lebanon ranks 113 out of 144 globally in relation to the brain drain phenomenon.<\/p>\n
– 34,000 people have applied for an immigrant visa already in recent months. <\/p>\n
– 77% of Lebanese youth seek to escape the country. <\/p>\n
– 1,200 nurses have already left.<\/p>\n
– 20% of Lebanese doctors have left already or are planning to leave. <\/p>\n
