or the, there's no limit to have a dream container, stuff in your own adventure. now counter, everything's already in a dire situation. lebanon is facing, is, was a humanitarian crisis. is radia tech support. hundreds of thousands of people from that homes. so who will come to the rescue of those quote in the middle of a conflict? this is inside story, the hello again on james bay's israel's full scale bombing campaign across lebanon is into it 2nd week and causing mass displacement. prime minister measure mccarthy says about a 1000000 people have left the homes in the south,

the east and pots of the capital bay route. the country was already hosting one and a half 1000000 syrians, refugees who fled the war. now, many of them have made that difficult decision to return home lebanese civilians to risking the volatile situation in syria, rather than the waves of his really bombardment. at least a 100000 people across the board. in the past week, even before the conflict escalated, lebanon was mobbed in both the financial and political crisis, and nearly half of the population was classified as food in secure, meaning they didn't have enough to eat. so how will level to deal with so many displays people will discuss this just in a moment with a pedal of guests. but 1st, this report from fed, your call i with nowhere to turn people seeing these ready militaries bump argument of southern deb and on the back of folly and parts of a roof are crowding into car parks on the beaches and wherever they can find refuge . lebanese government says nearly

a 120000 people have been housed in temporary shelters, but with an estimated 1000000 displaced, there isn't enough space for everyone. no faster than 1000000 lebanese people are moving from one place to another. this is the largest displacement that happened in the region in lebanon, and probably in history. and we saw within a few hours what's happened, and with no end and side to views ready attacks. there are 2 years of another protracted refugee accidents. they had to escape the rates. the bombardments immediately and some of them had just a few minutes. they are really scared and worried whether this crisis would last long. good. whether it's few days way, whether it's one month, 11, already host an estimated $1500000.00 syrian refugees who'd be fleeing the war there since 2011 already operated once. now many have returned to syria,

tens of thousands of cross the border and recent days to join them to do with no hold on. no, no, we were forced to leave syria and came to 11 on where we were received with great hospitality. now we're going back to my country, syria, lebanon is also our country, and we feel sad to leave these release of attacked and destroyed our 2nd country 11 on i cried because of the children who were killed by the israelis. this large scale displacement is yet another crisis for 11 on the economy is on the verge of collapse and the presidency has been vacant since 2022, almost half the population didn't have access to enough food before this conflict. now the world food program has launched an emergency appeal saying it needs a $100000000.00 just to feed people until the end of this year. the after the is really military killed has below leader. how sun does roll out in a major attack and they route on friday. hopes of the escalation are fading. and

does the bombing continues its people with the least for paying the greatest price for the car out to 0 for inside story? the little about guess today of joining us from the lebanese capital bay roots and we have dr. gus on i will say to who's worked as a was search and 11 and gone to syria and elsewhere in the middle east. he's a professor of conflict medicine at the american university of a root. maureen fillable is the lebanon country director of the norwegian refugee council and dogwood team, and is the founder of the international networks age relief and assistance, and was previously a correspondent for cnn based in 11 and welcome to all of you and thank you for joining us. on the inside story, let me start with you. what? because you know lebanon very well. you've looked that in the past. i've told you just in recent hours, landed back in a route. so it'll be interesting to see what your impressions are,

knowing lebanon for so long and seeing it as it is now to enter james, i was talking to a couple of others about this, and they were also agreeing. but it feels as if, you know, for the large part of it, given what 11 on has been through over the last few years. and this for us at the bombing campaign that is taking place right now. the psychological tool on the population has pretty much paralyzed them in the trim attic freeze, or flaw mode. everyone is under a severe degree of shock. our own staff themselves are not, as some of them have been displaced. some of them have actually lost family members in, in the bombings that took place in the south. and they're kind of trying to hold it together to be able to keep going out there day in day out, similar to the staff of, you know, any number of organizations there, not a single person here who is not somehow been impacted who does not somehow either

know someone who has been displaced or, or killed in this, and there really is this sort of struggle not just to comprehend what it is that the country is going through. but it's that coupled with the uncertainty and then also coupled with this growing, devastating, horrific need when it comes to people's humanitarian needs. and you can take that from, you know, food to standard taishan to diapers, to clean underwear. i'm renting is needed at the stage, maureen, i mean, when you hear all were talking about how the people a suffering right now. it is for me, very moving is someone who spend a lot of time in lebanon over the years and has seen such resilient people. i mean, this was a country that survived 15 years of civil war to 1990 and it has had so many struggles of since. how bad would you say things are right now. it's

the same. i've been trying to do with my head about the same cannot be had filed mountain, probably 2 or 5 days. so we think people have to be the balance is nothing from the fact that they have no intentions. agents to profit, keep the cost you do need to change them 15 hours to do the a t and on monday evening, this is how can i be talking to the car and put you through to now i know i've talked to general class of the one it's tuesday, we have people to be in the park speaking in the car. you know, your hosting is one. we have people. this may ask who to go in and speak to either incredible to people to try who people know where they are. a child to me, the best we can do is to me, challenging how these people are doing is very complicated and i will set the

comment in an asset. the full truth is super heavy. the violence that we've seen over the last friday, the last week, actually acting crazy. don't those us on you and i'll actually a being in gauze or at various points? joining the last. yeah. let me ask you about comparisons because goals i've seen such an a pulling time. does it feel to you like garza is coming to 11 of o c? and i think one of the reasons behind what i was describing is that there is really just a science in gaza that is happening over an admission. the bottom line is the lovely ease as they're watching this, particularly interested in having a kind of homeless for, for the atrocities. whether it's the, the,

the premature babies, whether it's the task. so the hospitals where it's, it's the task of the school for the internally displaced. and so for the lebanese and for me also. so we saw to see the same pattern, almost one of the genocide has to come and tell me, plate was rails was in the region yesterday, these rang his bones a flat to a building where the internally displaced level these were taking refuge and fire the over the weekend at the bottom of the hospital in sure. yeah. and the southern suburb has to be back over 41 and the nice amenities doctors are a big deal when i was up in the south working in a hospital and nobody. and we brought to reverse that further, and i saw a movie in an, an fast stream of saving my vision funeral. i've been targeted with the murder of

one of the doctors in the biggest the paramedics and so we're seeing israel's new or this new 21st century, the concept of scores or where you destroyed hospitals, you disjoint internally, displaced the colleagues, you grow people into this one area and then you attack and that is labeled the lines of the needs and of those of us. wow. wow, i've seen this one before. our intensive care unit here has to do with the kind of last centuries i've seen in the off to doing without medications that i've seen in goza. and it's, it's like it's happening over again. oh, well, i mean you had the guts on the sites. garza is being used as a 10 plate having been to both places. would you agree with that?

i mean, it's hard not to when you look at what is being targeted. but then when you also look at the size of the bombs that israel is using to carry out a this campaign, we're seeing mass a, you know, explosions happening. there's 2000 pound bombs that are, are being used here to go after certain. i mean, yes. is real, would say they are high value targets, but again, the, the whole issue of proportionality comes into play. and there is the, the reality that, you know, when israel wants to take out a target, quite frankly, the trend is anything to go by. it really doesn't matter how many civilians are going to end up being being killed and just add to what dr. hudson was saying. you know, the other challenge that is being faced here and actually he and i were discussing this earlier today because dr. hudson is also a founding member of, of my charity. but the issue is that there's such a strain on the hospitals right now that doctors are also struggling with where to discharge patients to. and this was

a similar problem that was faced in gaza. where do you discharge a patient too, especially if it's a verbal injured child who needs to stay in relatively hygenic conditions when, you know, the vast majority of them were actually injured in their own home. so that's another aspect of all of this that, you know, we're, we're trying to look at, but i think you know, very much, gaza is on everyone's mind who's been there. gaza has most certainly on my mind. and gaza is most certainly on the mind of all of the lebanese, they themselves say, you know, we're going to become another, gaza and the world is going to stay silent on what is happening to us. the very same way that they stayed silent or at least refused to move on, getting some sort of an end to the word god. so people are just going to sit back and watch as die now and loving on and all. well, i think it's worth reminding of us what has been going on in lebanon in the last few years, because the world bank says it's the one of the worst economic depressions in the world. since the 19th century, the lebanese currency, the lira losing as much as 98 percent of its value. so people have no savings,

whatsoever. it's a state in a state to collapse with no money or resources to help the people. yeah, and that's pretty much what came to a head in 2019 when the economy effectively collapsed under the incompetence and corruption of the government, people lost all of their savings. and so as the prices have been rising astronomically here more and more people are being pushed below the poverty line after that, then of course you have the perfect favorite blast of 2020, that just sent shock waves throughout the entire country and was absolutely devastating. and i mean, yes, the violence 11 on as intensified over the last week to 10 days or so. but the country has been feeling the impact of what's happening. you know, between principal and israel, pretty much since october 8. this is a country that has been pressed for purely over and over again. and i know we talk a lot about the resilience of the loving these people and yes, know to

a certain degree, they are resilient, they are a beautiful people. they want to live, love, and laugh, but at the same time, many of them will say, look, you know, people look at us with this idea of us being so resilient, but that doesn't mean that we're okay. that doesn't mean that we can handle everything that's coming at us. we just don't have it's what's maureen, let's talk about the displacement that's going on right now in the country because the prime minister mccarthy says 1000000 people in the set before that's the 5th of the population. you said it was a cleveland to a country like the u. k. it would mean all of london being displaced. i mean, it is quite amazing and, and this is now affecting in recent dallas for the 1st time, the central bye route, but some southern lebanon, the southern suburbs, eastern lebanon, up the back of valley. i mean, it's, it's the whole country now, is it not? and that's the whole country. i think it's the major change that we've seen the same said, let's say last weekend for the last 11 months,

you already had these guys people because of the conflict with these fell in the south. these people tended, and it's about that a bit more than a $100000.00 people. these people that need to stay in the south mostly. now we've been massive increasing that all of these states people have to find some coping mechanics and, but also only some space. basically all across the country. so you have people who stop in, in the 1st city side, which is about halfway between the south and the route. and then some that have more to sit there with us will surely she was interviewed because 2 went out for the 2 weeks. so maybe you'll call didn't have the fuel on that monday night. so then they made it to be rude. and then from bare with some people and go further north again, front of the friends and, and it, and toyota has room. and, and it said that we can actually 5, it's actually touching, affecting the entire country and even more so with the, the, the in tennis track campaigns on the big valley and also much more in time since

last weekend a week ago. and that also have pushed people from that area by the cabinet to flee towards a towards the, the east. don't took us on, i know in your medical look, you are overwhelmed by the patients you're having to deal with. and you have to be practical and dispassionate, but then when you get time to reflect on what israel is doing, what do you think coming of these? are they trying to achieve legitimate military goals? or is this again, collective punishment and retribution for the actions of his bella? i mean, again, i remember thinking that in october of last year when i was in chicago, so this was a more function. and again, i got had that feeling the other day when we were treating as a 13 year old girl who has apply century to the face are valuable. her nor joel was in 4 pieces for face was like a gold mine. so this is

a get on your own children when you blown people is how you and your children do the same problem. you the see the problem. and so the business on happening again is reality is using what you can call the process of testify the the wrong level, home loans and the y p a and human humanitarian disaster. the, you know, i remember the says the g d, just want us to draw an article and love. and again, in let them think about it already. over 828-0000 ended the children chose 41. how stuff to again,

israel's strategy is to create a role during an attorney from the news in the morning. what do we do about the immediate problems? the problem, particularly of all of these people living out in the open, in on the senate treat conditions. where do we get the results is where do we get tents? where do we get a well, cuz what is being done about trying to bring help to these people? so the 1st thing that the government did is that they opened all the schools in 11 on. so basically, since monday night, your staples working up at the gate of schools, not prepared for that. and then people, you know, pushing the furniture in the, in the kids, the classrooms just to put on the ground and, and try to find some sleep. and then a to a and maybe another family being brought into the classroom to, to sleep next to your family and the situation and is continuing. they are more than hate under the 800 school, sorry, opened up at point 2 photos. i'm already at full capacity and it's not,

it's very precarious. it's very basically they can do something, the schools from a, from a living environment. and not all these people yet have mattresses and, and, and sleeping bags or bed sheets. and of course, there is no usually no showers in the school, so the hygiene conditions is also difficult. that that, that the environment, the stress and to, to be idle, think about the home that you left behind is extremely documentations. and then you have people, or if you haven't found a place to, to leave people who move to every other day because, you know, today and tomorrow has that assignment. but then he comes back with his family. i'm so i need to move on. maybe i'll find another room, but then i need to move on again. so that level of stress on displacement is to super high. and as of the big struck friday evening, one bedroom i had quantities of had to leave in the middle of the night when the

strategy was, it was sending a creation or does so it's if people are really left with whatever they can, they can see with they are a lot of solidarity and industry, but also in the, in the emergency status has come into around and of course, international and use. but even more nevo is coming up, bringing tea and coffee and water and food. and so there's that network that's kicking in and that's fantastic to see with time it's going to be difficult if nothing is done to support these networks to have that in imagine time. so what was going to happen next week? i'm, are you still going to show up with you with your coffee pot and, and i also got to the people displaced. so there's been and the international community has come together and they've been on sudley has been a country with has been a and heavy humanitarian presence for the reasons you mentioned. an interesting but this year a refugee crisis. so we've only mobilized the triangle best to you know,

again provide the mattresses and blankets but also hook meals. i'm trying to instill showers, fix the, the latrines, the toilets and the schools. so we'll see that the very basic level of service. if it's a week only, but it's a 1000000 people in a week so that your level of all the resources of capacity to be mobilized is extremely high. oh, well, some of the pictures i saw move me because they were for motus square, which, when i 1st went to lebanon, the end of the civil war, that used to be the front line between east and west february. but also i was there in 2005 when people were protesting against the syrians ending the syrian military presence. and then they were protesting against the and top political elite in 2019 . and now it's a make shift temp of people and not just the, the, the historical residence. these are people who for years hoping would think something better for them in the country. they have been wanting that for years and

they've been fighting for that. i would even argue, you know, for decades trying to sort of move 11 on out of this state of constantly being subjugated to as political, a lead tour highland corrupt for the most part who are incapable of providing proper governance. and who also frankly, and fully exploited the country, not to mention also being subjugated to all of these external powers, you know, to, to add to what you're hearing. we also need to take into consideration that even though the lebanese, you know, are united right now in terms of wanting to help, this is also strongly, very deeply, bitterly divided country. there is a lot of tension right now that existed and still continues to exist between mostly the lebanese and also the syrian refugee community that is here. so people who flip the warrant, syria came to lebanon and had to flee again because of the environment that has been happening in various parts of the country are finding themselves, you know,

struggling even more so than others. in some cases, you know, i spoke to a young woman who is actually under and not as care. she's 18 years old. earlier today, she was horribly burnt, and an explosion in syria that basically also killed her father. she had to walk with her 2 brothers from the south for about 2 days to find a semblance of shelter. and b were, which is basically a, somebody construct a building at this stage and a number of other beneficiaries who are under united care. because we do the sort of long term care. so a lot of them are, in fact, syrian children who were injured and in syria are not just having to deal with this displacement again. but also with having, you know, this, this in grand trauma re trigger. and on top of all of that, the sense that, you know, 11 on doesn't necessarily want us here. and this feeling is, if you know, we're a burden on this already, let's face it broken system. and so the,

there's so many layers to this and they're just layers of pain that are compounding pain that are compounding even more pain. it's just, um, i mean, the worry is this is only going to get worse. and one way because of course, is riley is still continuing this repeated bombardment. but also we saw what happened in gauze. there was the risk of disease. we had polio and gauze. how worried all you about the, the risk of disease. now, given the scenes that you're seeing across a level then absolutely, every time i ask by the school that's been turned into and internally displaced the time you think about the goals, i'm missing back to the ratios of numbers. 20 minutes spread the actual number of showers for an individual. you think nice to people running out of their savings. but in terms of the quality of food they're able to purchase. and you think about what exist as a moving thing done, which is this, try it out of gas bombing,

attrition infectious disease and injury. and so when these 3, we just means that people sign lessons, they died of lesser infections and the dying of less are those of modification. but when the 3 get together, that's when they are to be aware of you know, where this is about to turn in to me and adds another layer to this invisible desk. and so when you get what you haven't gotten, what do we get here is the best becomes like a nice, but okay, here's the thing, let me bring in the morning in the morning to the end. if i can guess on what would be your message to the international community? clearly, the fighting has to stop, but in terms of the humanitarian operation, what would you say to world leaders right now?

they need to fund the response. they need to give money to, to the agency responding on the ground for whatever channels they have. i think they're going to have never known as in charge here. they also take in kind donations because this person is extremely dire. i think as long as when it goes to website and setting the van to humanity, i made that situation with raymond dyer. well, thank you very much. all 3 of you for joining us today on the inside story august with the cost on, i believe. cit, the morning for the phone and what day and thanks you too for watching if you missed any of the program, it's available on demand on our phone up or down to 0 dot com. we always want to hear from you as well. leave your thoughts on our facebook page. that's facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. we'll find this on x. look for x h a inside story for me, james space and the production team here in bo. please stay safe, bye bye. for now. the
