'I don't want to die': Blast traumatizes Beirut children

A Lebanese boy watches as French President Emmanuel Macron on August 6 visits Beirut's Gemmayzeh neighbourhood, which suffered extensive damage in the massive explosion. BEIRUT, LEBANON -- "I don't want to die." Those were the first words Hiba's six-year-old son screamed after the massive explosion at Beirut port sent shards of glass flying around their house.

Her son, who was sitting on a living room couch just across from her, was speckled with shards of glass from a blown-out window. For a few seconds her son sat motionless and unscathed on the couch. She said she now keeps her son in his room, surrounded by his toys, instead of in the living room where the television broadcasts scenes of grief and devastation all day long.

Children are among the casualties and the UN children's agency UNICEF has warned that "those who survived are traumatiZed and in shock". On Lebanese TV, the mother of a three-year-old girl killed in the blast gave an emotional testimony in which she shared her feeling of guilt about having tried to raise a child in a dysfunctional country.'ANXIETY, NIGHT TERRORS'
