Berri: The Country Needs Human Values to Overcome Sectarian Fires

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri confirmed that "the nation, which is under the burden of various crises, including the dangerous illnesses and the abhorrent sectarian and confessional fires, needs the spirit and human values embodied by the volunteers of the Lebanese Civil Defense in order to overcome all these crises." During his meeting with a delegation of Civil Defense volunteers, Berri stated, "Honestly, no one has helped the country heal its wounds and extinguish its fires as you have. In the face of calamities like those we are experiencing, we find before us only the glimmer of hope that you represent wherever you are, both inside and outside the country, most recently your presence in Syria and Turkey alongside your colleagues from various Lebanese scouting associations and clubs."
