FROM Headquarters:
Former ANERA President Authors Saladin Biography
ANERA is proud to recommend a new publication by our former president Peter
Gubser. "Saladin, Empire and Holy War" offers a
remarkable portrait of a complex, humane but hardly sentimental warrior-king
with both great talents and inherent flaws, one whose rightful place in history
may be closer to conquerors who also built, like Alexander the Great or
Napoleon Bonaparte.
Gubser, who directed ANERA for more than three decades, is a passionate
observer of the Middle East and an insightful and entertaining chronicler
of its history, which provides a better understanding of today's reality.For more details

Ali Secondary
School for Boys before it reopens in the fall. Read more

FROM LEBANON:
Providing Medicines in Short Supply
Ahmed was a patient of the Rashidieh Health Centre located in South
Lebanon suffering from a case of acute tonsillitis. "His throat had
completely swollen shut and the infection was spreading in his body. No
tablets could pass through his throat and his airway was in danger of
being obstructed. The Ceftriaxone injections allowed for treatment that
would have otherwise been unavailable," described UNRWA medical
practitioner, Dr. Qasim Saleh.
In early 2010, UNRWA submitted a request
to ANERA for medications in short supply, including Ceftriaxone
injections. ANERA then sent the request to Medical Teams International
(MTI), who reacted quickly. Read more
