New York [US], September 14: The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon, Imran Riza, has allocated a $24 million emergency aid package from the Lebanon Humanitarian Fund (LHF) to support the country's most vulnerable populations, and address the urgent needs of those impacted by the ongoing hostilities in South Lebanon.
"We are allocating these funds from the LHF at a time of unprecedented challenges. Lebanon is grappling with multiple crises, which have overwhelmed the country's capacity to cope. Despite our best efforts, only 25 percent of our annual appeal has been met,'' Riza said in a press release issued today.
"We urgently call on the international community for more support," Riza emphasised.
