Two weeks after the horrifying explosion in Beirut, the city is continuing to recover.
In particular, many are mourning the loved ones they tragically lost and the thousands who were injured are still recuperating.
Lebanese actress Nadine Njeim was one of those left injured from the blast. The 36-year-old had to undergo a six-hour surgery due to the injuries she sustained.
Giving her fans an update a few days ago, the star shared an image from her hospital bed with both of her children by her side.
In the caption of her photo Njeim said, “I thank God a thousand times he didn’t deprive me of this moment nor deprive my children of me.”
Updating her fans on her condition, she said that her wounds were healing and that she was set to be discharged from hospital.
However, she admitted that the blast felt heavy on her heart and prayed for the victims.
“What happened to all of us…,” she added. “Do you know what the Lebanese point has in common? Pain, unfortunately. We are always in total calamity or pain.”
The actress went on to thank everyone for their well-wishes and prayers, and also sent her love to Beirut in this difficult time.
Two weeks ago in the aftermath of the blast, Njeim posted a video of her Beirut home showing debris strewn across her living room.
In the caption of the post, the former Miss Lebanon 2004 discussed how she managed to climb down 22 flights of stairs barefoot to safety. Luckily, her children were not home with her during the blast.
The devasting explosion killed 178, has left 6,000 injured and damaged entire communities in Beirut.
