Angela is not used to complaining. She has always learned to do with what she has and says she rarely needed support to survive. But since the multiple crises in #Lebanon she has found it very difficult to make ends meet. “I would sometimes go to the mountains, to my sister’s house. I don’t do this anymore. Gasoline has become too expensive. I can’t afford to buy anything. When I’m at her place, I can’t afford to shop at the grocers. I will be a burden for her: one more mouth to feed and she is already suffering from the situation,” she says. Lebanon has been going through the most severe economic crisis in its modern history. The pandemic, explosion in Beirut two years ago and, more recently, the food crisis fueled by the war in #Ukraine, has exacerbated suffering.” Angela is a CARE program participant who lives in a small house in Nabaa, a suburb of East Beirut. “With the money I got from CARE I was able to pay my rent — I was late on rent for a few months — buy a gas bottle, pay for some medicine and buy some food.” she says. On Sundays when her husband was alive, Angela used to go for a walk with her family. Her daughter, Joséphine, carried on the tradition until a few months ago. “Everything has increased, even the price of bread,” says Joséphine, who lives a few kilometers from her mother’s and who no longer uses any transportation means to visit her in order to save money.
