IRC Lebanon country director Bryce Perry discusses what we are doing to help Syrian refugees in Lebanon and warns that the crisis has outstripped the capacity of aid agencies to respond.
Recently I sat down with the International Rescue Committee’s country director for Lebanon, Bryce Perry. Bryce has been in Beirut since the IRC opened its country office there last fall, as Syrian refugee numbers began to climb. There are estimates that close to a half million Syrian refugees are currently in Lebanon, and the influx continues daily. The IRC is now providing thousands of vulnerable Syrians with economic support.
