An urgent call for action: Lebanon's children are falling through the cracks after economic collapse and a destructive blast

[摘要] In Lebanon, people are currently experiencing what has been called one of the top three most severe economic crises the world has seen since the mid-nineteenth century (World Bank Group, 2021). Since October 2019, the economic situation in Lebanon has been rapidly deteriorating (Youssef, Reference Youssef2020). In addition to the economic collapse, on 4 August 2020, a massive explosion at the Port of Beirut killed at least 200 people, injured thousands, and left over 300 000 people homeless (Devi, Reference Devi2020). The explosion was so massive that it was felt 150 miles away in the neighboring island of Cyprus (Alberti, Reference Alberti2020).
