Emergency Lebanon

The commitment of VAT for immediate emergency LibanoL'ARCI Libani in collaboration with civil society in Lebanon since the late '90s and since 2003 has actively promoted a project of human development co-financed by the Directorate General for Development Cooperation of the Italian Foreign Ministry in the city of Tripoli, 80 km north of Beirut, which is managed by its NGO ARCS Arci Culture and Development. The project aims to directly improve the lives of girls and working children in Bab el Tebbaneh, a heavily degraded area of \u200b\u200bthe city, providing them with academic support (literacy and vocational guidance) psychological, medical and legal. Indirectly, the project operates in the context of social awareness training for local and national community about the consequences of child labor and psycho-social development of the child. The project was also supported by the present day and campaign fund-raising association and decentralized cooperation projects carried out by: the Regional Committee of Toscana Arci-with the help of Florence Unicoop Committee, through the Arch-Lombardia Regione Lombardia and Fondazione Arci Cariplo Committee of Reggio Calabria in collaboration with the Province of Reggio Calabria, Lazio Solidarity Arci-with a consortium of training exchange program, Netics with CISP leader, co-funded by the City of RomaArci knows the reality of Lebanon, and in recent years has developed an extensive network of contacts at government and non-governmental, interacting with associations and foundations of all religious affiliations and intensified these relations in the context of European and Mediterranean Social Forum. We also have direct links with Palestinian NGOs that support training and social support for refugees in the camps and carry out campaigns for the affirmation of civil rights in Lebanon. Our partners in the project promoted to Bab el Tebbaneh in Tripoli is the René Moawad Foundation (FRM), an NGO-inspired Maronite Christian who for years has been outstanding for the promotion and support campaigns for the affirmation of civil rights in the country. The president, Nayla Moawad, was Minister of Social Affairs of the Government in carica.L 'emergency: the network of NGOs libanesiNon soon as hostilities broke out a large portion of the population of the south of the country have sought refuge north. The same thing happened in Beirut, which were heavily bombed southern suburbs. After several days of fighting had already displaced around 500,000. many of them have found shelter in public buildings, especially schools provided by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Other refugees have been accommodated elsewhere, including in the public parks of the capital. To answer the needs of this mass of population has established a network of 30 Lebanese NGOs that have decided to unite and work without any distinction of belonging to the different communities that make up the country's social mosaic. This is for Lebanon to a news of great importance in a situation of conflict, in fact, the NGOs, giving part to express positions and therefore only work with the local communities, have joined in a collective effort to help refugees. This demonstrates the increased awareness and the Lebanese civil society and what should be taken so seriously his appeals. The Network has taken its name from the public park in Beirut, where in the early hours of the war had gathered the people on the run: Sanayeh. The network also has a website: http://www.sanayehreliefcenter.blogspot.com/ The network of NGOs has therefore organized work areas, but always putting in their relationship and synergy between the interventions: the Rene Moawad Foundation (RMF) is concerned with the refugees sheltering in schools from the hills around Beirut and in other 4 schools in the province of Tripoli.Le Tripoli: a possible emergency response. In Tripoli, came thousands of refugees and displaced persons. Some of these have been incorporated in 4 schools. The project staff promoted Arcs-Archer Bab el Tebbaneh and gets with the René Moawad Foundation has attempted to give an initial emergency response: these people who have fled taking with him only a few things, now lack the ability to provide themselves. The activities supported by the Centre 'Arci have therefore now focused on' priority need-emergency responses to growing problems of childhood neighborhoods north of the city. By strengthening its service to offer advice on medical and psychological play of young people affected by the fighting and also supporting the families. While having rejoined the cooperating with the evacuation organized by the Italian Foreign Ministry, the local staff is monitoring their work and dedication, made it difficult and dangerous situation contingente.Dall 'Italy structures Arcs and international car industry are following and monitoring the humanitarian operations in close touch with the operators of the Centre and the partner.L 'Arci and the René Moawad Foundation (RMF) intend to respond to the needs of about 430 people (but the number of refugees is growing) have been held at four schools in Tripoli. Among them there are about 100 children of varying ages and with different necessità.Per then each school has tried to understand the specific needs (the situation is updated on Sunday, July 23) SEE SHEET ALLEGATAL'Arci, believing that its role in the current crisis is to help alleviate the suffering of the civilian population without distinction of origin, intends to engage in one's body to track association from the beginning of these resources with a public subscription, and calls to the entities concerned to support this action in the manner that may from time to time concordare.Con these goals and objectives that we intend to support the Lebanese civil society has responded to the emergency with a strong spirit of cooperation and with a clear determination to act, overcoming sectarian differences and memberships of group: healthy with these forces and vitali.L 'Arci is developing a long continuous dialogue and exchange and a fortiori to punch its proximity and its support at this time. These days we are considering the possibility of organizing a humanitarian mission in Lebanon along with other Italian NGOs and associations involved in the country for some time with cooperation projects and programs in support of population marital status: the aim is to testify in a direct way our proximity to these realities and Lebanese NGOs engaged in humanitarian aid to consolidate all the action, recognizing them as a reliable partner and representative of a new Lebanon that the events of these weeks of war cancellare.Ribadiamo seem to want the urgency of opening a humanitarian corridor to guarantee supplies and aid to refugees and displaced persons and persons affected by the conflict in the area and the direct involvement of the United Nations in the coordination of these actions that the activation of a peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon. All this and hopes that very soon silenced weapons and establishing a dialogue between the parties.
