” “"May every effort be made so that in the three conflicting areas, north Israel, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, weapons may be silent and conditions may be laid down for negotiating an agreement that will guarantee peace and security for everyone and the widespread distribution of humanitarian aids". Mgr. Vittorio Nozza, director of the Italian branch of Caritas, when opening the Rome summit on the Middle East, wished "the current actions may be intensified with growing, sympathetic response. As well as the current spotlight, he adds, let’s mention Iraq as well, where terrorist attacks seem to be endless, the new hotbeds of tension in south Sudan, Somalia and Afghanistan, and all the conflicts, more or less hidden, that only with the steady attention of the public opinion can find their space in the political agenda and the hope of being solved". In Lebanon, 300,000 refugees are in Beirut already. 75,000 of these are completely taken care of by the Lebanese branch of Caritas, which distributes food, personal care products and medications. The mobile hospitals, a sort of equipped ambulances, have turned into emergency hospitals and move around the main shelters.” “
