AUB has been closed since yesterday. A protester was killed just south of Beirut, right on the road that DS travels on to get to the refugee camp. He was told it wasn’t safe to drive there today.
AUB is committed to helping the students complete the semester, so that’s good. But it sounds as if the semester may be extended longer. I don’t think DS will be home for Christmas. 
My niece’s situation in Chile is even worse. Classes were suspended awhile back and I don’t think they will restart this year. Niece has been assigned a tutor and does some work online.
My sister and I just want our kids home!
