The parents of Lebanese students studying in Ukraine held a sit-in Friday in al-Nour square in Tripoli calling for authorities to “save our children.” The sit-in took place on the second day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine as many Lebanese students studying in Ukraine have found themselves stuck in the middle of a war zone. According to the National News Agency, the protestors chanted "save our children from the hell of the war between Russia and Ukraine” and called on the international community to save the students, saying they had lost hope that the Lebanese state would evacuate the students.
