The funding will address the needs of internally displaced persons and refugees in Lebanon and their host communities.
States are allocating nearly $157 million in humanitarian aid to “support people affected by the conflict in Lebanon and the region.” This was stated in a statement by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the website of the US State Department.
“The funding will address the new and existing needs of internally displaced people and refugees in Lebanon and their host communities. The assistance will also support those fleeing neighboring Syria,” Blinken said.
This assistance in food, shelter, blankets, hygiene kits, protective equipment, water and sanitation will be critical for those experiencing poverty, he said.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee the country in recent weeks as Israel ramps up its military campaign against Hezbollah, including more than 100,000 people, mostly Lebanese and Syrians, who have fled across the border into Syria, according to U.N. .
Let’s remember that on October 1, the Israeli army announced the start of a ground operation in southern Lebanon.
On the night of Friday, October 4, Israel launched eleven strikes against Hezbollah’s southern headquarters in Beirut.
