Dr. Suzanne Menhem, Oghma Group International Deputy Director and Research Manager, was interviewed by Al Arabia-Al Hadath channel. The topic was the current tragedies that are befalling the Lebanese and other immigrants and refugees in Lebanon who are illegally trying to reach Europe by sea.

 

Dr. Menhem stressed the reasons behind such risky behavior attempts and the multifaceted dangers of human smuggling. The latest incident was the deadliest, which claimed the lives of over 100 people, including many children. These attempts have become more common since the onset of Lebanon’s severe economic and financial crisis in 2019.
