Services were held today in solidarity with Basil and his family at Dubai's St Mary's Church and at the Evangelical Church in Ain Zhalta.
"The service in Ain Zhalta’s Evangelical Church was delivered against the setting of an idyllic Lebanese village. The crowd overflowed the church’s courtyard into the village’s main square. In that day Ain Zhalta became one big church fluttering in white and red under a clear blue sky".

Chère Yasma
Vous êtes dans nos pensees à tout moment et c'est peu dire! Nous sommes à tes côtés,amis et peuple libanais réunis. Notre tristesse est immense, notre rage indescriptible; mais notre espoir est grand de revoir le sourire de Bassel comme il nous l'a toujours montré.
