The War Struck Again

2006

The war, again! A setback in our path to move forward
2006 war generated physical, organizational, and human losses that we would be hard-pressed to measure accurately. It was only natural that the entire staff and the majority of the student body and their parents would be affected by those circumstances and that these would have consequences on the performance and resources of the foundation in the short and medium terms.
During the war, normal operations were almost entirely halted. The only two centers that continued to provide services were located in Anquoun and Kafarhatta, relatively far removed from the shelling sites, not to mention the initiatives of a few members and employees who remained in Tyre and strove to support their municipality by delivering medicines for chronic and other diseases. In addition to the damages sustained by many foundation facilities in Beirut and the South, the war disrupted the agreements signed with government and international bodies. Timeframes and the nature of deliveries were reconsidered in light of the changes in the priorities of the targeted populations. Moreover, the social and living conditions of the staff were also under pressure as many lost their lives or were forced to leave to deal with the loss of family members, their houses, and property.
