The European Union (EU) announced today an additional 30 million euros in humanitarian aid for Lebanon, while Israel intensified its attacks on that country.
According to a statement from the EU delegation in Lebanon, the new aid package is in addition to the 10 million euros announced on Sunday, bringing the total EU humanitarian aid to the country to more than 104 million euros this year.
The aid package will offer immediate food, shelter, healthcare and other essential support, it added.
According to a report released by Lebanese authorities on Wednesday, the total number of people displaced in Lebanon by Israeli airstrikes has risen to nearly 1.2 million.
Israel has recently intensified its airstrikes on Beirut and its suburbs, mostly targeting Hezbollah leaders and facilities. At the same time, he launched what he described as a “limited” ground operation in Lebanon.
Clashes between Israel and Hezbollah intensified on October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel in solidarity with Hamas in Gaza.
