Grief Turns To Anger For US Lebanese

Posted on Monday, August 07 at 15:55 by jensonj
Naim Bazzi's story is not unusual here. Dearborn has the highest concentration of Americans with roots in southern Lebanon - about a third of its 100,000. Lebanese restaurants and flags line the main streets. The local cultural centre is named after the town of Bint Jbeil, and Dearborn is twinned with the southern Lebanese village of Qana. Doctor Adnan Hammad runs an Arab community health clinic in Dearborn. He says his clinic has been completely overwhelmed with people needing counselling as a result of the latest fighting. "Our therapists, psychiatrists, counsellors, medical doctors, outreach workers are doubling their work," he says. "I even called the Michigan department of community health a few days ago asking for emergency relief."
