I Was In Lebanon—The Humanitarian Crisis Needs Ceasefire That's More Than 'On Paper Only': OxFam CEO

from Forbes Newsroom · host Forbes

Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah reignited in the days following Israel and the U.S. launching joint strikes on Iran earlier this year. In June, Israel and Lebanon reached a ceasefire agreement that Hezbollah ultimately rejected. This month, the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran effectively disintegrated, and there are fears that fighting in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah will pick back up. The Lebanese president is expected to meet with Trump and other officials this week in Washington to reportedly talk about not only a stronger ceasefire, but Israel withdrawing troops from southern Lebanon. According to the UN, more than 3,500 people have been killed, thousands more have been injured, and approximately 1 million people have been displaced in Lebanon because of the conflict. President and CEO of Oxfam America Abby Maxman joined Brittany Lewis on "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. Learn more about your ad choices.
