Macron consoles Tamara who lost her father in helicopter crash, her mother in Beirut blast

French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his condolences to Tamara Tayah, the daughter of Tarek Tayah, one of the two Lebanese victims of a helicopter that crashed in northern Italy, days ago.

Tamara had met with Macron in Lebanon after she had lost her jeweler designer mother in the massive Beirut port explosion.

She gifted him a Lebanon-shaped pin made by her late mother when he visited Beirut in the aftermath of the explosion.

“I listened to many testimonies, but Tamara's was the one that affected me the most," Macron said.

He added that he feels her pain and that his heart is with her.

"The reason why I am motivated for Lebanon is Tamara and the hope she holds, the hope of the Lebanese youth," Macron said.
