Beirut hospitals are inundated. In a country of fewer than five million people, 254 killed and over 1,165 injured in a single afternoon is catastrophic. These are families.

It matters enormously, and I am proud that Greenpeace has the courage to stand on the right side of history.<\/p>\n\n<p>And yet, today more than ever, I believe these brave acts of solidarity, as vital and meaningful as they are, are not sufficient on their own.
