Michelle Nunn, president and CEO of CARE, spoke to CNN’s Nick Watt on the suffering of the Lebanese people, many of whom have been displaced multiple times and are deeply traumatized. Below is a short quote from Michelle’s interview with Nick.
“This is a multilayered crisis because the people of Lebanon were already looking into the face of enormous inflationary and economic crisis, people living in poverty and those who have been displaced by bombings over a period of years. Over and over again we talk to people who say, this is my second, third, or fourth displacement. Those images start to capture what is the reality for some people. Again, women and children are the majority of the people that are displaced that are suffering and all the people in Lebanon are faced with the anxiety, the trauma that is the reality of this war.”
