like you mentioned lebanon really has been feeling the strain. the government asking for help, saying that its resources are being strained, but the lebanese people are complaining, saying that the syrians taking their jobs, so there is a lot of resentment. people here really are afraid even to venture out of these camps, because they don't have proper official papers. they say that we could be arrested or detained by the lebanese authorities. they were suffering in syria and life has been very, very difficult here in lebanon. >> what do they tell you about the possibility of them returning to their homes in syria? >> well, everybody here will tell you we want to go home. they are realistic. they've been here over the past four years and every time people had hope and now that is diminishing further, because according to them, there is no meaningful political process underway. yes, we are hearing now statements from diplomats saying that they want to revive the political tract but there's no tangible progress yet. people also people that the worl

>>reporter: lebanon has 1.2 million registered syrian refugees. a quarter of the population of this tiny country is now made up of syrians who have lost just about everything. they may be alive but they will tell you there's no dignity to living like this. it's a reminder that none of them will be going home any time soon and it's why aid agencies say they need donors to keep giving otherwise they can't cope with their need. >>reporter: everyone we spoke to tells us they don't want to be here and the situation is desperate. >> nations are meeting and we have a crisis that is hurting the region. let them solve the crisis in a positive political way and everyone can go back to their homes in syria rather than pledging all this money, solve the crisis. then everybody goes home and the problem is solved. >>reporter: but a political solution is nowhere near and that means that these people and millions of others will remain reliant on handouts to survive. >>> cameras have revealed the extent of destruction from months of fighting in libya's second bigg

nearly 4 million syrians live in refugee camps. >> this is northern lebanon. this building may not seem like much but is home to these syrian refugees. the united nations said it was always supposed to be a short-term solution, but a huge number of refugees means the u.n. can't afford to continue housing these families. the people living here say they have nowhere to go. >> we were shocked after we heard that the u.n. will turn us out of the center, which will be a big problem for us. most families here don't have houses, and they can't afford to rent houses. we are looking for a solution for this problem. >> the u.n. says the solution is cheaper housing. it admits sheltering millions of people is not going to be easy. >> when the numbers of syrian refugees were much less, collective shelters were one way we were able to respond to an immediate shelter need. less than 2% of the refugee population are living in collective shelters. >> there is anger here but also a deep sense of disappointment that the world isn't doing more to stop the fighting destroying thei

in lebanon we're working to decrease tensions between host communities and refugees. community to rehabilitate the old city and involved young people to reduce the appeal to extremism. so we're doing everything we can, but important challenges remain. constrained access, insecurity including targeted attacks against humanitarian workers are a prime challenge. and as kelly mentioned, we're working with donors to try to jointly meet the overwhelming needs for resources. despite many challenges, we remain committed to saving lives. and to helping host communities recognizing this is a long-term crisis. thank you for your support. thank you for this hearing. and again, i look forward to your questions. >> thank you. our members thank you for your service, your dedication, your hard work and responding to this serious humanitarian crisis unfolding before us. as you both have said the united states plays a critical role in the international response as the largest donor country having contributed more than $3 billion. but as i mentioned earlier, we also have a responsibilit

we have done it in places like lebanon and somalia.he logic now is basically what the united states government is doing, and the admission of the president is significant is don't count on us ever again. no country on earth should count on the international community, or the united states ever again, because we will let you down and lead you down a very dark tunnel. so the issue here is not really the significance of libya per se, but the impact of what happened in libya as a last example of a complete and continuous failure of the international community in n.a.t.o. under the leadership of the united states, to step up and be able to enforce what is the principle of the united nation, which is to ensure international security and peace. and the impact - sorry, there are - this is not about libya, libya sits at the center of three major geographic regionally significant geographic areas for the united states and the world. you have the countries of north africa, of southern africa, the sub-saharan africa, niger, mali, chad, sudan, you

the south lebanon front is 70 kilometers. if they're able to extend this to golan this will put pressure on israel. >> hezbollah has suffered casualty in syria. the group has also maiden mys across the arab world. but it has advanced to where golan will be part of the new strategy. hezbollah bus not shy away from saying that they have a greater military presence at the israeli border, and they hinted that south lebanon and golan are now one front against israel. he said that the group two no longer comply with the so-called rules of engage with israel. it followed contact with israel. hezbollah retaliated by targeting an israeli convoy in the contested of areas. >> hezbollah has raised the stakes. from an israeli perspective. they feel that as hezbollah gains more power as compared to the regime itself in syria they increasingly see that regem control of areas bordering the occupied golan is tantamount to hezbollah. >> hezbollah fighters are spread across syria iraq and lebanon. some argue that the group cannot afford a major

i was in a school that we were running in the beqaa valley in lebanon a year ago.aid to the kids "what do you do for play?" they said one of the things is marwan, and they pointed to a little boy, 12-year-old that writes poetry. and i thought great, show me poetry. just one short poem translated death don't come near me. not out of fear of my lost time, but fear of my mother shedding tears. my kids are playing baseball and marwan is writing poems like this. or i see kids drawing wonderful pictures of a happiness, remembering their homes or whatever in many situations here here - violence, helicopters, people killed, canons, blood or a girl... ..just black. >> everything black. >> now, the affect of this is they are losing education. they will not have the skills to contribute to society in the future, and in their hearts, hatred. so we have, for example, reached about a million kids across the region, with psychological counselling, to try to get them over the trauma. and we are emphasising education, education, education within syria, where we have supplied millio

in jordan in particular and lebanon. and the iraqi kurdistan region and so on in terms of what we're trying to do and turkey has done a tremendous amount on the health side, wu that's something we need to continue to try to work on to try to prevent what you've just outlined. >> it's all the more reason why it's important this u.n. resolution last year, 2165, being able to work across borders so organizations like w.h.o. can move across those lines of conflict. and you need to continue to support that. the other maybe helpful mitigating factor is that syrians are used to getting vaccinations. and they demand it. some refugees we work with or people in underdeveloped countries are not used to it. they are used to it and so, they're looking for vaccination and that does help mitigate some of the problems. >> ranking member deutsche. >> thank you. mr. chairman. i'd like to and thanks again, both of you, thanks for being so patient for allowing us to do the other part of our job. i'd like to ask about another issue i've rais

in lebanon hezbollah are condemning it.all of this come as any surprise roughly 24 hours after the bombing campaign started? >> not, not at all. actually you are been talking about how the houthis are a strong ally of iran and it's only natural now that when saudi arabia turns against them these forces show support to the houthis. it's not -- you know, it's not surprising to anyone that there is a proxy war in yemen in several other countries, saudi arabia and iran are engaged in a proxy war. however, it cements that yemen almost could have been a place where this proxy war would enact in self on the ground, and that's something that the yemeni people really don't want. they don't want neither saudi forces nor iranian forces on their ground. >> lebanon is seen as a microcosm of what's going on the region. former prime minister is supporting the bombing campaign. of course as i mentioned hezbollah is condemning it. so to what extent is the sectarian aspects of this sunni-shia real and dangerous or to what extent is it maybe

possibly iraq and lebanon and surely, those leaders have their eyes on those trouble spots, too. >> that'sery true. i suspect when the egyptian president suggested this arab joint force, i think actually he has libya in mind. but we have seen that this kind of intervention in syria and iraq has very limited chance of succeeding in any short, you know, amount of time. so, you know one thing is to wish for the kind of joint military force. but, also a wishful thinking to think that you could just control or contain or dominate countries like yemen and libya by simply announcing a 40,000, you know, joint force. so there were two kinds of voices adrian coming from the summit, the kind that said we need dialogue go back to the dye log in yemen and in libya. and there are others who were speaking of the dialogue continued to emphasize the military solutions. i am afraid while there are true strategic and military challenge challenges facing the arab world but i think at least in places where a dialogue is needed like in libya, to succeed and to bring the people back together, certainly, it's wor

in my career, i had a chance to vote on the civil war in lebanon. i voted not to have troops on the ground. it is not an area where the united states should place themselves. i supported the first gulf war which was critical to us. i have a hard time understanding -- let me tell you something i think about. i have a hard time convincing legislators of what i do and i can only imagine how difficult it is to work with the french, british, spanish, italian's, to say that we need to have very tough sanctions against a guy that is trying to gobble up the territory of free people -- vladimir putin. it makes no sense. you have to assert your values and bring people along. you can't do it all by yourself. but we have the moral authority and standing to be leaders and bring people with us. and we have to do it and of course fight radical islam. that question, what do you think about foreign policy is like what you think about life? the united states has to be engaged in this world. without us, the world is in chaos. all those books about america being out th
