Tragically, this
famous Lebanese scientist became a homeless man in his old age. Georges Gerges was once a scientist and lecturer at the most prestigious university in Lebanon. This 90-year-old grandfather lost most of his property during the civil war. He also lost hope due to a corrupt political system.
