Lebanon is currently facing an internal refugee crisis following Israeli military strikes that have forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. The country, already struggling with an economic crisis since 2019, is urgently seeking $427 million in aid for shelter and relief efforts over the next three months.
During a cabinet meeting, Information Minister Ziad Makary stated that Lebanese officials have engaged with UN organizations and donor countries to address the crisis. Makary emphasized that all aid would be channeled through a transparent mechanism via the United Nations, with implementation coordinated with the Lebanese state.
