00:00We have more than 700,000 people that are currently displaced, and that's according to me a minimum, and 122
00:13,000 of those are basically in shelters.
00:15So we see very quickly that there is the vast majority of people that are not in shelters, that are
00:23living in the community, most of the time in very, very precarious situations, because today there is not enough shelters
00:30for all those 700,000 plus people in Lebanon.
00:36And you have a line of cars for seven kilometers of people sleeping in their cars because they have nowhere
00:43else to go.
00:45And in Beirut, you also have people sleeping in the street.
00:49So the situation is very, very complicated, and people have no clue if and when they will be able to
00:57go back home.
00:57The strikes are super, super intense at the moment.
01:00We have strikes a bit everywhere all the time.
01:04We have had another big strike today in Saida that was completely unannounced.
01:10We had no clue it was going to happen.
01:12And we have to keep in mind also the fact that there is more than 13% of the territory
01:19of Lebanon that is under Israeli evacuation order.
01:23So 13% is a massive part of the territory.
01:27But in shelters where we have people that are displaced, those people, I mean, in the shelters, you are lacking
01:36basically everything.
01:38You are lacking food.
01:40You are lacking basic items such as, you know, hygiene kits, soap, towels, things like that.
01:49People just left their home with only what they had on their back.
01:53Water is also a big, big problem.
01:55Access to water, drinking water, but also water for hygiene, so to take a shower.
02:02And the people that are lucky enough to end up in a shelter are in conditions that are very difficult.
02:09I mean, I went to visit two days ago a shelter, 800 people, there were eight toilets.
02:15So it was one toilet for 100 people.
02:18We see little institutional response to this crisis and massive needs that as doctors at borders, we are trying to
02:27manage.
02:29But obviously, we cannot manage displacement of 700,000 people.
02:35And that's just ludicrous.
02:37In fact, that it's not only military zones that are being targeted.
02:41The zones that are evacuated are not military zones.
02:44Those are civilian areas.
02:45I mean, it's villages where thousands and thousands of people are living.
02:50So Israel has decided that those villages where you have thousands and thousands of civilians are a legitimate target, and
02:59they are targeting them.
03:00But on top of that, they are obviously targeting also buildings everywhere.
03:05And here in Saida, in the city of Saida, where I am currently, there are some buildings that are targeted
03:14almost on a daily basis without any evacuation order.
03:18So definitely, that creates a lot of fear for everybody, including me, to be fully honest.
03:28That's a quite stressing situation.
03:33And obviously, for the people that are already displaced, being on top of that in those conditions where you can
03:39have a bombing any moment, that's very stressful.
03:43And the impact on mental health is also quite high.
03:46The high number of civilian casualties in those areas that are not under evacuation, people dying because their building has
03:55been bombed.
03:56Allegedly, we don't know exactly why, but they are just being bombed like this.
04:03So it's a totally unacceptable situation.
04:05If I would appeal to something or to someone, it's to definitely appeal for the protection of civilians and civilian
04:16infrastructures, including hospitals.
04:20We have seen in the last week, attacks on civilian infrastructures, but also attacks on medical facilities.
04:29We have had a few days ago, a team of the Lebanese Red Crescent that was rescuing someone that has
04:36been bombed, where we have a colleague of the Lebanese Red Crescent that has died.
04:42That's obviously an attack on health care that is totally unacceptable.
04:48Let's remind everybody that attacking civil infrastructures and medical activities is against international law.
04:56What is this that is happening in the country?
04:56What does that mean?
04:57That means that you know what you want to do in the country, and it feels like a member of
04:57the Albanian and the other side.
04:57The other side is a troll.
04:57I think there's a trolley.
