France has committed to providing a 100-million euro ($108-million) aid package to support Lebanon at an international conference held in Paris. The conference, attended by over 70 nations and international organizations, aims to raise funds to address the urgent humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. The United Nations has identified a need for $426 million in humanitarian aid for the country.
President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the necessity of massive aid to assist the Lebanese population, particularly those displaced by the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah militants and Israel. Germany and Italy have also pledged significant amounts in humanitarian aid to Lebanon and neighboring Syria, which is also grappling with escalating violence in the region.
