The European Commission announced pound 10 million in additional humanitarian aid to help people in Lebanon affected by the ongoing escalation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel. This emergency funding aims to tackle the most urgent needs such as protection, food assistance, shelter and health care. The EU stands ready to provide further support by mobilising all the available emergency response tools, including via use of the Civil Protection Mechanism. In 2024, the EU provided pound 74 million in humanitarian aid to help vulnerable populations in Lebanon, including this allocation. Source: National News Agency - Lebanon
