I'm planning to head over to Lebanon once there is some sort of ceasefire called or a safe way in. The border from Damascus to Beirut is still closed, and the road completely fucked up anyway. The Homs to Baalbek road is the same story, I believe. I read the bridge south of Hermel leading to Baalbek was destroyed, and they've been bombing the Bekka pretty intensely. The only reliable way in seems to be from Tartus to Tripoli and along the coast, but I'm in wait-and-see mode right now.
They're going to need a lot of volunteers, and I have a few friends that work for a couple environmental organizations in Beirut. The oil spill has covered the entire Lebanese coast from Beirut north to Syria, so they're going to need a lot of help cleaning that up, which I've heard will take 6 months to a year. I could also volunteer helping displaced people or in cleaning up various other the destruction that Israel has made... we'll see.
I know there are many people of Lebanese background among my friends, anyone else have similar plans?
