However, she admitted that the blast felt heavy on her heart and prayed for the victims.
“What happened to all of us…,” she added. “Do you know what the Lebanese point has in common? Pain, unfortunately. We are always in total calamity or pain.”
The actress went on to thank everyone for their well-wishes and prayers, and also sent her love to Beirut in this difficult time.
Two weeks ago in the aftermath of the blast, Njeim posted a video of her Beirut home showing debris strewn across her living room.
In the caption of the post, the former Miss Lebanon 2004 discussed how she managed to climb down 22 flights of stairs barefoot to safety. Luckily, her children were not home with her during the blast.
