Lebanese Delegate at Child Welfare Summit
Mrs. Neamat Aoun, the Lebanese First Lady, participated in the Summit on Child Well-being in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. She emphasized the importance of investing in children's health and well-being as a means to build a strong society, especially amidst crises and wars. She presented the plight of Lebanese children affected by rising childhood cancer rates and the psychological impacts of the recent war, which has resulted in the deaths of over 250 children and injuries to more than a thousand since March 2026. The conflict has also destroyed 436 schools and adversely affected 40% of children psychologically. She called for providing comprehensive healthcare and psychological support, rehabilitating affected children, and focusing on children's rights to education and protection. She highlighted the "Citizenship School" initiative, which has reached more than 30,000 students. She added that children's recovery from the effects of war continues even after the fighting ceases. Ponta's mission is to prioritize children within national agendas to ensure a safe, dignified life and a peaceful future.
