REUTERS/Alia HajDozens of Ethiopian maids have been dumped outside the Ethiopian embassy in Beirut to sleep on the pavement by employers who can no longer afford to pay their salaries.

Lebanon is suffering an acute economic downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic and months-long anti-government protests. The currency has lost 70% of its value since October, with unemployment rocketing, savings evaporating, and the prices of some essential goods has tripled. "All 34 Ethiopian domestic workers who are stuck in front of their embassy will be taken later Thursday to the Caritas shelter," said Huson Sayyah, the head of foreign workers at the Beirut charity Caritas, according to DPA news agency.

Need to solve this, so disrespectful AbiyAhmedAli fitsumaregaa

Oh boy. Where’s the rioting and protesting? MuslimBrotherhood/HAMAS

Our sense of humanity is lost. SMH

So?

The living costs in Lebanon have gone up expendentially and people cannot survive themselves how can they keep servants. I dont agree with dumping them they should organize they return back home

Meh humans.

It’s SAD!

The term used should be “domestic worker” as it gives value and meaning as a worker

New career time.

Call Obama
