External Statement: Supporting Children’s Mental Health in Lebanon with thanks to The Big Heart Foundation

“I feel like I’ve condemned my beautiful children to a life of pain, with no future to look forward to nor a past they can remember.”

To many, 11 years of war in Syria equals 11 years of a rootless life and no place to call home.

Save the Children is extremely concerned that children are among the casualties or those who lost a parent in the fuel tank explosion which has killed at least 28 people and injured scores in the northern city of Akkar early Sunday morning.

Over the past year, Lebanon have experienced a near total economic collapse, the impact of the Beirut port blast in August 2020, and the severe consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Children have been gravely impacted by these multiple crises that have eroded their survival, learning and protection.
