EU pledges another €30M in aid to Lebanon

The European Commission announced on Thursday that it is sending another €30 million in humanitarian aid to Lebanon amid Israeli airstrikes that displaced over 300,000 people. The support package will provide urgent food assistance, shelter and healthcare and will be delivered via the European Union’s Civil Protection Mechanism.

According to the Commission, almost 2 million Lebanese and Syrian refugees in Lebanon are estimated to be food insecure. “In this time of crisis for Lebanon, speed and efficiency in delivering aid are crucial to save lives. With this emergency allocation we aim to promptly support those affected by conflict in Lebanon so they can receive immediate relief,” Commissioner Janez Lenarcic said.
