Refugee Graffiti…in Beirut…

I took the photo above in one of the refugee camps in Beirut, when I was trying to help coordinate how we might bring more blankets and other essentials into the camp. Even though Lebanon is not much different in size from a small state like Rhode Island, it is currently hosting more Syrian refugees than any other country. Over the past few years, Lebanon has been inundated with more than 700,000 Syrian refugees–in addition to all of the Palestinian refugees who were already living here. The refugee crisis here in Lebanon gets worse each day–with more and more Syrians fleeing to the border, as resources for them are dwindling under the stress of so many people in need. What’s to be done to stop this humanitarian disaster from spiraling even more out of control?
