EUROPEAN UNION PROVIDES EUR 10 MILLION EMERGENCY AID TO LEBANON
The European Commission announced today a doubling of its emergency aid for Lebanon as it seeks to provide humanitarian aid for victims of the conflict. The € 10 million, managed by the Commission's Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO), will cover a range of urgent relief activities including the provision of emergency supplies for displaced people and medical assistance.
Louis Michel, the Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, said: "In Lebanon, from a humanitarian standpoint, we are witnessing a tragic, downward spiral. We already have a crisis with rapidly growing unmet needs. Every day the fighting continues takes us closer to a human catastrophe."
