STORY OF WARDA, 85 YEARS, LEBANON
“My husband died 30 years ago so I raised my children on my own. They lost their
way and all but one child abandoned me. My neighbours are the ones I’m close to.
“I have very low bone density. They told me that if I want to be able to walk I’ll ...
need new metallic knees, but that even if I had the money I wouldn’t survive the
surgery. I miss my health and mobility. I can’t leave the house. I have to ask
my daughter to bring me water. I cry at night and ask God if I can die early.
When a person loses their health and the ability to move, they lose everything.
“I’ve lived through many wars but this is the worst. What’s happening in Syria
now is unbelievable. Things were different before. There was food and shelter.
People were poor yet happy because there was peace. Basic services, including
medical care, were available.
“I know that humanitarian aid might be helping, but only for those who can go
and get it. How am I supposed to get this help if I can’t even leave the room?
You need a car and someone to take you. When I was registered they told me I’d
get help but nothing happened. Other families can go and collect aid, but I can’t.”
Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.
