Mehdi Hassan Roni

Just like many other Bangladeshi, Mehdi moved to Lebanon for work to improve his family’s social and economic conditions. He worked as a bagger at Spinneys, and as he was putting clients’ groceries in shopping bags, warehouse number 12 at the port of Beirut exploded and a huge glass panel was broken over his head, killing him instantly. His dead body was transferred to Bangladesh where he was buried.

Jamal Dod Miah

In 2016, Jamal arrived in Lebanon seeking a better life. He worked at Pizzanini in Gemayze; on August 4, 2020, he was at the restaurant when the explosion happened. He was injured and evacuated to the hospital where he underwent multiple surgeries to save his life. He unfortunately died on August 25, succumbing to his wounds.
