War in the Middle East: Education assistant: "We now maintain clinics and ambulances"

The escalation in the Middle East is worsening the humanitarian situation, affecting Jacqueline Flory's work with her organization that provides schooling and humanitarian aid to refugees.

The ongoing war in the Middle East has significantly escalated, leading to a deteriorating humanitarian crisis that impacts the efforts of Jacqueline Flory, who founded the organization Zeltschule e.V. in Munich ten years ago. Originally aimed at providing education for Syrian refugee children in makeshift schools, her organization has evolved to operate over 80 schools while extending humanitarian assistance in Syria, Lebanon, and Afghanistan. Recently, the organization rebranded as 'doBetter e.V.' to reflect its broader mission in response to the escalating needs in the region.

In an interview, Flory discusses the challenges faced by her organization and the shifting dynamics in the region, particularly the ongoing displacement and suffering of vulnerable populations. She highlights the increasing demands for humanitarian aid, which has led to her organization taking on additional roles such as maintaining clinics and ambulances to support those affected by the conflict. This expansion underscores the critical nature of their work as the humanitarian strife deepens amidst the ongoing conflict.

Furthermore, Flory notes a noticeable shift among the local population as they begin to distance themselves from groups like Hezbollah. As insecurity continues to rise, many are seeking alternative sources of support and leadership, indicating a profound transformation within the community. Flory's insights illuminate the complex interplay between education, humanitarian assistance, and local political dynamics in a region under duress, while also emphasizing the enduring resilience of those striving to help others in times of crisis.
