“All that’s left in the vineyard is wood.” This is what was said during difficult living conditions. Nowadays, in Lebanon, not even firewood is left. The frigid winter will not be warmed by wood coals because of the lack of diesel fuel. This natural material has become a luxury item for the wealthy. God! How quickly do things change? When did “keeping our houses warm” become as costly as caviar?

So, you need at least 20 million Lebanese pounds, to provide warmth for the house. Otherwise, enjoy freezing!

The harsh winter is knocking g at the doors, three ways ahead, dear citizen, to stay warm. Either you pay 40 million Lebanese pounds for fuel oil, or 20 million Lebanese pounds to secure firewood, or, what about standing up to this authority and fighting for your basic rights?
