EU pledges $115 million in humanitarian aid to Lebanon amid escalating regional conflict
The EU has pledged €100 million ($115 million) in humanitarian aid to Lebanon as the country faces rising casualties and displacement linked to the expanding Middle East conflict.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, announced the aid after speaking with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and said the EU has already delivered over 40 tons of relief supplies with more humanitarian flights planned.
The EU also welcomed Lebanon’s decision to ban military activities by Hezbollah, while reaffirming support for Lebanon’s sovereignty and stability.
According to the UN, Israeli strikes have displaced more than 700,000 people, including about 200,000 children, while 486 people have been killed and 1,313 injured since the fighting began.
Israel’s intensified campaign has raised fears of a possible ground invasion of Lebanon, as Aoun warned that the conflict is taking a devastating toll on civilians struggling to access shelter and basic necessities.
