Beirut-Based Journalist Rania Khalek: Lebanon’s Only Going to Get Worse




During this interview which I recorded on Sunday, two days before the explosion in Lebanon's capital, Beirut-based journalist Rania Khalek (https://twitter.com/RaniaKhalek) talked about how precarious the situation was in the country. And that was *before* this massive explosion. Rania is okay and was, she says, probably saved because she works from home and she left her home office after the power went out. Had she been home she says she would probably have been killed. Ironically, during the interview, Rania, understandably, expresses her frustration with the frequent power outages.
