I visited Beirut this week, where this war is devastating children and families yet again, with more than 1 million people forcibly displaced from their homes. I saw first-hand how schools that were meant for education are becoming shelters for displaced families, and how playgrounds and sports facilities are turning into places for storing and distributing humanitarian aid. No child should have to live through this. Across Lebanon, families fleeing violence arrive carrying whatever pieces of normal life they could take with them.
