Emirati platform "Blink" released a report titled: "After losing his leg.. Fadi Ibrahim tells Blink: I will not surrender," which stated: "The love of the people has overwhelmed me, and I thank everyone for their compassion despite the ordeal I am going through." With these words, Lebanese actor Fadi Ibrahim began his conversation with "Blink," explaining the details of his declining health condition that required launching a campaign for financial and moral support.
Ibrahim spent three hours yesterday, Thursday, at the Heart of Jesus Hospital in Beirut, where he underwent a dialysis session. He revealed to "Blink" that it was exhausting; however, he expressed gratitude, saying, "Thank God for everything. Everything that comes from God is good."
The 67-year-old Ibrahim pointed out that his suffering is due to diabetes, explaining that he also has kidney problems, and he is currently undergoing two dialysis sessions each week. He added, "The doctors are monitoring my condition. Diabetes has tired me, but I have faith that I will remain strong to face the illness. Right now, all efforts are focused on treating the kidneys and also mitigating the effects of diabetes."
He continued: "The goal now is to fit a prosthetic leg in place of the amputated one, and this will take time, especially since I need to train to adapt to the new limb." With heartfelt gratitude, Ibrahim thanked everyone who showed support either through social media or from the artistic community, expressing appreciation for the efforts of the Syndicate of Theater, Cinema, Radio, and Television Artists in Lebanon to gather financial support for his treatment.
Ibrahim stated, "The Lebanese audience is loyal and does not forget anyone, as their memory is deep and genuine, just like them. It is the people of Lebanon who do not hesitate to give and offer help. With the love of my supporters, I will be able to continue my journey, and with the support of the artistic community, I will be present with them again, and I will not surrender."
He added: "There are officials in the state trying to reach out to us, but we say that our hope is to have a state that protects us and protects the citizen."
