I spoke with a young lady here at work who is a Lebanese Christian, she's distressed about the situation because her brother and grandmoter are currently stuck in Lebanon. The US Consulate is trying to evacuate US citizens to Cyprus.
She explained to me that 1/2 of the city is Muslim and the other is Christian. The Christian side is less affected directly but mostly affected by the loss of services like electricity and food stores.
She also stated that most of the income is tourism related so their economic income for the year is bad.
