My husband was a young teen when war erupted in his country of Lebanon, and as a member of the Lebanese Christian forces he was severely wounded twice. He is very lucky to be alive and saw his best friend die right next to him. As a sheltered American I cannot fathom the reality of having to flee your home or defend it and your family with your life. I am grateful to God that there are people who are willing to work hard to bring the conditions of these refugees to light. Thank you for the work that you do. Having known several Doctors who participate in the Doctors without Borders program, I also salute them for their dedication and selflessness. God Bless you all.

As Global Patriot notes, in the developed world, we have no conception of the desperate conditions that exist elsewhere. Displaced persons have need of many basic services, including clean water, sanitation, food, and medicine. Poverty is a worldwide phenomenon. Tens of millions of childhood deaths could be prevented each year by providing clean water and sanitation in the developing world. The cost - approximately $50 billion per year - minimal, compared to the money governments are throwing around these days to prop-up a failed financial paradigm.
