'What we can provide for them in a short trip is really a drop in the ocean'
A team of NI healthcare workers are preparing to head to Lebanon to help provide medical services to Syrian refugees.
"We are seeking to provide them with access to healthcare. It's very difficult for them, and of course what we can provide for them in a short trip is really a drop in the ocean. Their needs are much greater than that but it is a great encouragement for our friends in Lebanon who are doing this work day in day out to know that there are people willing to stand alongside them for a short period of time.
"Although we can't deal with all the medical problems that are being presented to us, [they] know that somebody has taken the time to fly from the other side of the world to be with them and to do whatever they can.
