Some stand-out moments from yesterdays meeting: Michel Roy, Caritas Internationalis secretary-general: The entire region is on fire... Damian Kattar, Lebanese politician and economist: Through social media we can know quickly but in less depth than before. People have no time to analyse and understand such a conflict is as now happening. This crisis is not of yesterday, or from last June. Mohammed Diab, World Food programme: WFP has about 25 percent of resources required to meet current food commitments in Middle East for October, and at present no funds to meet these commitments for November. Bishop Warduni of Iraq: I want to be optimistic but we are suffering too much. We thank everyone who is helping us, but people will not come back unless there is security. Everyday [ISIS] is doing something worse than the day before. Our peoples hope has almost finished. Damian Kattar: How much the need is, its beyond what you can imagine. Impossible to meet the current needs of the Middle East through humanitarian aid alone. Must advocate for political solutions. Mohammed Diab: Imposed political solutions will not be stable. Stability in political solutions must come from within.
