Humanitarian Aid Groups Send Food & Water to Southern Lebanon

HeadlineAug 15, 2006

Aid groups are continuing to send large amounts of food, water and medicine into southern Lebanon. This is Astrid Van Genderen Stort, spokesperson for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.

  • Astrid Van Genderen Stort: “In the coming days, we will be needing to pre-position goods and to be able to service the people on the ground as quickly as possible, and possibly also with tents, because probably people are going back to their houses, find their houses destroyed but would want to set up a tent next to it from where they can work on their house.”
