 It is Nancy Mencius, and I am here at the Port of Beirut Friday, while Mark, the one month that the historic and horrific explosion happened here in Lebanon. There has been little to no reconstruction happening. While I'm here walking and connecting with NGOs, I see that there are volunteers everywhere trying to pick up the rubble and start over, help communities start over, help the residents start over, and even help small businesses start over. Not sure what to expect a month from now if things will still be in shambles, if the buildings will still be crumbled, but if anything it looks like people here on the ground are resilient. There are just smatterings of Americans here. I see USAID is here. I see Mercy USA is here on the ground. But other than that, it is primarily the Lebanese NGOs, which are leading the charge in trying to pick up the pieces from this explosion that happened a month ago. The scene here is incomprehensible. I can't even put it into words. The only way I can really describe it is that a bomb literally went off. I've never seen anything at this magnitude in my entire life, and not really sure if the US has either, perhaps on September 11th, but my thoughts and my hopes are with the Lebanese people, that they can help pick up the, they can help one another pick up the pieces, and you at home can help as well. If you go to our Code Pink website, there are a list of Lebanese NGOs that you can donate to and help in this recovery and humanitarian effort. I think if anything, this is going to be a long haul. I'm not even sure if the country has the resources or even the capacity to build. I am here just literally across from the center where the bomb had exploded, or the explosion has happened, and people can walk around freely within the rubble. There is military, there is security on the ground here, but there really isn't a sense of leadership or direction here at all. It's really the people who are doing the picking up of the pieces here, and it's just, it's really heartbreaking to see. But anyway, that's my latest report, and I will talk to you all tomorrow. Thanks.
