Medicines For Lebanon Refugees

Medicines distributed at the refugee camps in Beirut and trauma relief camps were conducted in September 2006.

IAHV Middle East, in association with Dubai Humanitarian City, launched a medicine collection drive. The volunteers in Lebanon gave a list of essential medicines that were required and this was circulated to IAHV volunteers all around UAE.

The American hospital donated essential life support medical equipment also along with medicines. The total value of the shipment was around $200,000. The logistics of reaching the shipment were very difficult, as Israel had blockaded surface and air traffic.

The shipment was sent by road to Damascus, then to Jordan. From there it was eventually flow in by Queen Rania’s private plane to reach Beirut.

“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”
