Narration by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Mia Farrow:
“A catastrophe of enormous proportions is unfolding in Syria and people are fleeing to the border countries.
Here in Lebanon, 75 percent of the refugees are women and children and they come with nothing, absolutely nothing. They have no papers, their homes were destroyed, they come traumatized – that was very evident. People without coats, people without shoes, people without socks, people without any plan of what’s going to happen.
One woman described it, said it was just humiliating – waiting for handouts. Sometimes the handouts came, sometimes they didn’t. She said we want to go back home, we want there to be peace, we want to go back home with dignity.
We went to spend some time with a community that was living in these makeshift – you can’t even call them tents – because they’re just cobbled together pieces of material and cardboard and stuff – and because of the rains and the snow and this unprecedented winter, the tents are in a sea of mud. It’s unhealthy and unlivable.
I don’t know what will happen to them because another big storm is expected this very week. I know UNICEF is under-funded and it’s a desperate situation. What’s going to happen to everybody? I’m here seeing the frustration of the humanitarian workers and then the agony of the people. It’s hard but we can help.”
