The International Humanitarian Initiative for Lebanon

Appalled by the humanitarian catastrophe in Lebanon, we the undersigned, despite our political and ideological differences, come together in our personal capacities in support of civilians in Lebanon.


 


The current situation in Lebanon has reached a disastrous scale. This is evident in the severe shortage of clean drinking water, medicine, food and shelter accessible to civilians mainly children, women and the elderly.


 


We, therefore, invite you to participate in this non-political purely humanitarian international initiative and join the group of internationally renowned public figures who will travel via Cyprus to Beirut in moral support of the civilian victims in Lebanon.


 


The initiative, which is sponsored by independent Egyptian business people, will cover all participant expenses including return transportation from home base via Cyprus to Lebanon and accommodation in both Cyprus and Beirut. The date of departure from Cyprus to Beirut is August 10, 2006 and return to Cyprus from Beirut on 15 August, 2006.


 


Your support in this critical time is greatly appreciated. In order to make the necessary arrangements for international participants, please respond within the next three days to the contact details below.
