Zanimiv op-ed v NYT o beguncih v Libanonu (z dobrimi linki):
Since it’s easier, safer and carries less risk of corruption to provide cash electronically instead of handing people envelopes of bills, mechanisms should exist for debit cards or cellphone banking.
Here’s how it works: Each needy Syrian refugee family gets a banking card. Family members use it to shop for food at the 450 participating stores and markets; a family of five gets about $135 per month.
Some Lebanese politicians have been spewing a lot of language about driving out refugees by making their lives more difficult still. Western donors should not help in that project. The desperate crossing of Syrians to Europe in boatloads in the summer of 2015 occurred at the same time as the cuts in aid — not a coincidence, according to some European officials. And one of the consequences went beyond the fate of the Syrians. The migration flood contributed to the rise of xenophobic right-wing parties across Europe, and to the decision by British voters to leave the European Union.
It’s strongly in the interest of Europe and the United States to compensate Lebanon richly for its service to the refugees, and to help Syrians there live lives as close as possible to normal. “Here, home is 50 kilometers away,” said Heinrich. “You are in an environment with the same culture, food, climate, religion. If you have hope, you don’t reach the desperate measures of using your last savings to move thousands of kilometers to a strange country.”
