"In Lebanon we need mattresses, blankets, drinking water, and even water to clean, because we only have public water for two hours every two days; There is a great lack of water, not only for drinking, but above all for cleaning, showering...".
LEBANON: They left everything, they lost everything, they left with nothing
It is war in Lebanon where bombings have intensified and caused hundreds of deaths and injuries and forced tens of thousands of people to leave the south, moving towards Beirut, Mount Lebanon or the north. They left everything, they lost everything, they left with nothing. The government has opened all schools throughout Lebanon to accommodate these displaced people, but obviously they are not prepared. No one expected something like this, there is no preparation to deal with this situation.
We have taken steps to start distributing essential goods in the reception centers of the Beirut school: food, water, mattresses, blankets, baby products, and medicines. Alongside these, the doctors from our local centers have begun a series of check-ups for refugees, especially those suffering from chronic or serious illnesses. We have also initiated psychological support activities, many of which are dedicated to children: lessons, drawing sessions, and art therapy.
