Comments on this Honorary Consulate
To whom it may concern,
It has come to my attention that Kenyan and Gambian individuals are stuck in Lebanon because of the explosion. They are no longer working & were gravely affected by this explosion. They are not able to afford to fly home. They are now sleeping in the streets & are at risk of being exploited & harm. Please find a way to get your Gambian citizens home. Thank you.
Anyone who wishes to go home should be allowed to do so and it is your responsibility to bring them home.It is time that you take action and fulfill your duty to help and protect Gambian citizens in Lebanon. Bring them back!!
Hi, it has come to my attention that you’re denying help regarding the Gambian women in Lebanon pleading to be able to go back home. The only advice you have given these women, who have nothing, is to prostitute themselves in order to get the money for the tickets home. This is unprofessional and unethical! They deserve your help so they can return home again to their families. They can’t ask their families to give them the money, cause they came to Lebanon to help support them financially. You have to help them, and I urge you to help them.
Hello
I write this to appeal on behalf of The Gambian migrants in Lebanon for the government to organize a repatriation flight for them. Please do everything in your capacity to get them back to The Gambia. Lebanon is struggling right now, their citizens conditions is dire moreover to the vulnerable migrants whose condition was never good to begin with. I cried watching those videos of migrants pleading to return home. Have empathy and do the right thing. Thanks
It is so sad to see vulnerable women pleading to go back home to Gambia from the street or Lebanon. Recognize that they need help and arrange travel back to their home country so they can be safe and reunited with the families which they left to support, yet fear they’ll never see again. They deserve your help.
You are the Gambian Honorary Consulate in Beirut, you are supposed to work in the best interest of the citizens from Gambia. Help them with whatever they need! Don’t turn your back on them! It’s disgraceful to see how they are treated in Lebanon. Own up to your responsibilities as a Consulate.
My heart goes out to all people in Lebanon that has been affected by the blast.
Your hearts should go out to the ones you’re supposed to protect.

Hi, I am writing from the United States. It’s disgraceful to see you are not helping the women who do desperately need to return home to Gambia. The world is aware of this situation. Please do the right thing and help these women get home. And please stop telling them to prostitute themselves. Give them the respect they, as human beings, deserve.
To whom this may concern, no woman should be forced to prostitute themselves just to be able to return home. It’s disgusting what is happening to those women and children that have to witness. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Hi!
Every single human in this earth shouldn't be begging to go back home, leave the abuse they suffer and to get the justice they deserve!
Please help all Gambian woman go back home, please let them not suffer again and please show them that their own country and people are by their side.
Dear Sir or Madame,
It is time that you take action and fulfill your duty to help and protect Gambian citizens in Lebanon. There are plenty of comments here stating the acuteness of their situations and there are many Gambian women suffering in the kafala system in Lebanon. Take immediate action to help your citizens in this most vulnerable and powerless situation. Bring them back to Gambia and free them of their legal slavery. No one deserves such a fate and it is your duty to protect and help your citizens!
