Voices from the Square, Part 29 with Elia Haber for The Beirut Banyan, bringing conversations directly from Martyrs Square.

Elia speaks to Joumana Konsol - 26-year old volunteer at Embrace, and Michel Khairallah - 28-year old bartender and musician.

Joumana shares her work with Embrace - Lebanon's national suicide help line. She reflects on the difficulties many are facing with the current economic crisis and her commitment to Embrace's purpose. Michel talks about the emotional difficulties of the moment, and his personal attempt at overcoming the pain the country is going through in order to bring structural changes the protestors desire.
